An Eviction Crisis
An eviction crisis would be more than a humanitarian and health concern, it could create economic worries, as well. Goldman says it expects a “small drag” on spending and job growth from people directly impacted, but the larger concern is public health, which could be more seriously impacted.
Goldman Sachs is hardly the only group raising a red flag on evictions. The Census Bureau estimates roughly 1.3 million people are likely to get evicted in the next two months. And the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities estimates there are 11.4 million Americans currently behind on rent, a figure that’s below the December 2020 peak, but still widespread.

Violent crime and drug abuse in Philadelphia as a whole is a major problem. The city’s violent crime rate is higher than the national average and other similarly sized metropolitan areas.1 Also alarming is Philadelphia’s drug overdose rate. The number of drug overdose deaths in the city increased by 50% from 2013 to 2015, with more than twice as many deaths from drug overdoses as deaths from homicides in 2015.2 A big part of Philadelphia’s problems stem from the crime rate and drug abuse in Kensington.
