Southwest Schuylkill Eviction Risk: High , Philadelphia

At $407 a month, rents run 71% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands. The poverty rate is 52%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 85% 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.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.4 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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. Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 7.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 3.4 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
