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
This is renter territory: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $51,384, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10.
The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Cost burden runs 57% here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County.
On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 183 filings here across 4 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 4.3% of renter households were served.
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. In a typical year about 3.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 89th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
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.
