Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

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 Tioga Park

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 50%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Set annual rent against average income of $47,529 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is renter territory: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

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 1.4 points.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 3.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,473, close to the Philadelphia average.
