Parkside Eviction Risk: Elevated , Philadelphia

At $882 a month, rents run 37% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.

It sits 1.3 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6. 44% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Philadelphia County average of 49.1%. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 253 filings here across 4 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2011, when 10.1% 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 9.8% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 90% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.4/10.

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.
