Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ivy Hill
Cost burden runs about three-quarters here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10.
Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 286 filings here across 4 tracked years.
Filings peaked in 2010 at 12.6% of renter households. 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 10.7% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
