Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. 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 Eastwick

The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $35,474, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.4/10. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

At $1,159 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands. Court records carry 213 eviction filings across 4 observed years. The worst year on record was 2010, when 21.4% 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 12.0% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
