Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mantua
Set annual rent against average income of $31,343 and the ratio lands at 47%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.3/10. The poverty rate is 37%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Philadelphia County average of 49.1%. This is renter territory: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 265 filings here across 4 tracked years. Average gross rent is $1,217, 13% below the Philadelphia average.
The worst year on record was 2010, when 10.9% 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.
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.
