Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Northbank
At $2,096 a month, rents run 50% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.2/10.
On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.4 points below the Philadelphia County average of 6.6. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10.
The voucher gap is 16.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Court records carry 29 eviction filings across 4 observed years. Severe burden reaches 8%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
The worst year on record was 2016, when 2.8% of renter households were served. 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 2.5% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
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.
