Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wissinoming
Cost burden runs 82% here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.4/10.
The poverty rate is 37%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $45,846, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.
Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 299 filings here across 4 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 12.0% 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. Average gross rent is $1,284, 8% below the Philadelphia average.
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.
