Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wissinoming
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Set annual rent against average income of $50,409 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Cost burden runs 58% here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County.
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10. The filing record is not thin: 257 evictions over 4 years of observation. It sits 0.8 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6.
The worst year on record was 2010, when 11.0% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 10.1% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
