Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hawthorne
Against Philadelphia County at 49.1%, 64% of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.
The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10.
At $1,685 a month, rents run 21% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands. The filing record is not thin: 147 evictions over 4 years of observation.
Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 points. The worst year on record was 2011, when 8.9% 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 6.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.1/10.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
