What drives eviction risk in Hunting Park
Cost burden runs 76% here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 57%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Annualized rent equals 44% of average household income of $32,063, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.
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 $1,182 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands.
Court records carry 276 eviction filings across 4 observed years. The worst year on record was 2016, when 7.1% 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
