Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Southwest Schuylkill
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6.
Cost burden runs 41% here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Average gross rent is $1,178, 16% below the Philadelphia average. The filing record is not thin: 286 evictions over 4 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2016, when 10.0% 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 7.8% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.7/10.
Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 3.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
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.
