Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Chopersville
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. The severe-burden share is 33%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
The poverty rate is 48%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Set annual rent against average income of $29,551 and the ratio lands at 46%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, 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. At $1,137 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 356 filings here across 4 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 9.9% 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 9.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 9.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
