Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Oak Lane
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. 40% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Philadelphia County average of 49.1%. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.
The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. At $1,136 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands.
The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 67 filings here across 4 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2010, when 9.0% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 7.0% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
