HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

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 Sharswood
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 44%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $961, 31% below the Philadelphia average.
68% 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. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.
The filing record is not thin: 1,359 evictions over 4 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2010, when 29.2% 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 26.7% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
