We exploit a simple observable called "mean chiral displacement" (MCD) for interacting fermionic wires and study numerically the interacting Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain by means of matrix product state calculations. In particular, we propose to study the time-evolution of a simple local quench which relates the MCD to the many-body topological invariant of the Hamiltonian for weakly-correlated interacting models. We study both a short-range correlated and a long-correlated model exhibiting topological/trivial insulators and a (trivial) symmetry breaking phase, and we link the behavior of the MCD to all three phases. We provide an experimental blueprint to obtain the long-range correlated model hosting all three phases.
