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 Stanton

Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 44%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

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. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.

Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 302 filings here across 4 tracked years. At $1,266 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands.

Filings peaked in 2012 at 22.2% of renter households. 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 17.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #9,433 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9/10. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 3.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing 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.
