Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hawthorne
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. At $1,775 a month, rents run 27% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands.
On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10.
The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 113 filings here across 4 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 6.5% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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.
In a typical year about 4.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter.
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.
