Hamilton Court Eviction Risk: Lower

5 census tracts · pop 19,129 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10 · range 3–5.6

Hamilton Court spans 5 census tracts of Ardmore, PA and houses 19,129 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, Lower tier. Against a Ardmore baseline of 28.9%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.4/10. The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Court records carry 377 eviction filings across its 5 observed tracts.

Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 4.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.4% in 2006, is well off that peak. Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,666, close to the Ardmore average.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
