Olde Kensington Eviction Risk: Moderate , Philadelphia

Average gross rent is $2,143, 53% above the Philadelphia average. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10.

Running hot, 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 1.4 points. The voucher gap is 18.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.1/10. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $149,475, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
