Historical context · 1930s redlining

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 Hartranft

Against Philadelphia County at 49.1%, 67% of renters here are cost-burdened. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.2/10. The poverty rate is 37%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,150, 18% below the Philadelphia average.

Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 188 filings here across 4 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 18.1% of renter households.

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 12.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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