Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Logan Square

At $2,474 a month, rents run 77% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands. Cost burden runs 65% here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County.

100% 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 voucher gap is 37.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The dominant input is supply constraint at 8.7/10. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $82,700, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 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 safer for landlords by 1.1 points. Nationally it ranks #23,808 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
