College Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , Bala Cynwyd

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 60 evictions over 7 years of observation.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 3/10. At $1,701 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Bala Cynwyd commands.

Filings peaked in 2000 at 4.6% of renter households. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Philadelphia. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 3.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 55th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.6/10.

Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $160,500, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
