Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Schuylkill
At $1,855 a month, rents run 33% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, 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. On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Court records carry 112 eviction filings across 4 observed years. Filings peaked in 2016 at 11.3% of renter households.
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 8.1% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
