These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Spring Garden
75% 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 score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.2/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. At $1,732 a month, rents run 24% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10. Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points.
Court records carry 76 eviction filings across 4 observed years. Filings peaked in 2010 at 2.4% of renter households. 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.
In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
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.
