What drives eviction risk in Chopersville
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 52%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Cost burden runs around two-thirds here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County. Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $32,523, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. Running hot, 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. Average gross rent is $1,102, 21% below the Philadelphia average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 163 filings here across 4 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2012, when 5.6% 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 5.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
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.
