Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Upper Roxborough
Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. The voucher gap is 28.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, 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: 1 evictions over 1 years of observation. Against Philadelphia County at 49.1%, 45% of renters here are cost-burdened. The worst year on record was 2012, when 0.4% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 0.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
