Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oxford Circle
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.3/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points.
Average gross rent is $1,129, 19% below the Philadelphia average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 175 filings here across 4 tracked years.
Filings peaked in 2016 at 10.0% 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 8.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
