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 Little Saigon
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.
On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. At $1,675 a month, rents run 20% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands.
The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 94 eviction filings across 4 observed years. 53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Philadelphia County average of 49.1%.
It sits 0.7 points below the Philadelphia County average of 6.6. The worst year on record was 2011, when 2.6% 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 2.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.5/10.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
