Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Society Hill
Average gross rent is $2,432, 74% above the Philadelphia average. The voucher gap is 35.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8.5/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
It sits 1.4 points below the Philadelphia County average of 6.6. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 66 evictions over 4 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2016 at 7.0% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 3.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
