Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tacony
Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.
57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Philadelphia County average of 49.1%. Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points. At $1,120 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 256 filings here across 4 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 12.2% 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 9.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
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.
