Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Drexel Hill

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. 62% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Delaware County average of 50.9%.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.8/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.4/10.

Court records carry 78 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Average gross rent is $1,545, 14% above the Drexel Hill average.

It sits 0.8 points below the Delaware County average of 4.7. The worst year on record was 2000, when 9.0% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 6.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.2/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $89,167.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
