Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Juniata

Against Philadelphia County at 49.1%, around two-thirds of renters here are cost-burdened. Annualized rent equals 87% of average household income of $13,721, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 48%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Average gross rent is $996, 29% below the Philadelphia average. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

It sits 1.4 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6. Court records carry 435 eviction filings across 4 observed years. The worst year on record was 2010, when 9.4% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 8.4% of renter households face a filing.

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.
