Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tabor
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 67% 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.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Court records carry 458 eviction filings across 4 observed years. Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. The worst year on record was 2012, when 14.6% 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 11.7% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
