Rittenhouse Square Eviction Risk: Moderate , Philadelphia

At $1,840 a month, rents run 32% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.6/10.

This is renter territory: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.

Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Philadelphia. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $107,537.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
