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 North Central
73% 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. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10.
The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 392 filings here across 4 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2010, when 10.1% of renter households were served. At $1,282 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands.
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 10.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #12,919 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.
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.
