Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Drexel Hill

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.8/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.2/10. At $1,072 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Drexel Hill commands. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 100 filings here across 7 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2003 at 9.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 6.3% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.9/10.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $80,958, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Delaware County average of 4.7 closely.

28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
