What drives eviction risk in Rhawnhurst
The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.4/10. 69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Cost burden runs 40% here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.
The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $1,153 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands. Court records carry 260 eviction filings across 4 observed years.
It sits 0.7 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6. The worst year on record was 2016, when 6.0% of renter households were served.
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 5.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.7 points hotter.
