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 Port Richmond Polish Neighborhood
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, 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 safer for landlords by 1.4 points.
The filing record is not thin: 124 evictions over 4 years of observation. 8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,248, 11% below the Philadelphia average.
The worst year on record was 2012, when 6.6% 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 4.8% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
