Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. 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 Brewerytown

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.6/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $63,523, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

At $1,827 a month, rents run 31% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.

Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. Cost burden runs 54% here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 191 filings here across 4 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2010 at 14.3% of renter households.

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 10.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
