Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gayborhood

At $2,441 a month, rents run 75% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands. The voucher gap is 35.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The dominant input is supply constraint at 8.5/10. This is renter territory: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.

It sits 1.4 points below the Philadelphia County average of 6.6. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.2/10.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $179,609, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
