Ludlow Eviction Risk: Elevated , Philadelphia

This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. At $1,065 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands.

57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Philadelphia County average of 49.1%. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 428 filings here across 4 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2016, when 35.4% of renter households were served.

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 25.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.6/10. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.5 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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.
