Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pittville
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.1/10. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,100, 21% below the Philadelphia average.
The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 0.9 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6. Court records carry 761 eviction filings across 4 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2010 at 18.5% of renter households. This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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 15.7% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
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.
