Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pauls Run

28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points.

Court records carry 249 eviction filings across 4 observed years. At $1,575 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands.

The worst year on record was 2011, when 30.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 25.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 6.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
