Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Southwest Schuylkill
89% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.7/10.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.
The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 134 eviction filings across 4 observed years.
Average gross rent is $1,201, 14% below the Philadelphia average. The worst year on record was 2012, when 6.9% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 5.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #14,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 6.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.1 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.
