Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Franklinville
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. At $978 a month, rents run 30% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $36,502, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
On the high side, 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. Court records carry 279 eviction filings across 4 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2011, when 7.2% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 7.4% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
