Lexington Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Philadelphia

At $1,983 a month, rents run 42% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $71,691, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 33 filings here across 4 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2016 at 6.0% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Philadelphia. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 4.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
