· range 3.5–3.5
Burholme maps to a single census tract in Cheltenham Village, PA and houses 4,912 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.3/10. Court records for this tract carry 96 eviction filings.
The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. At $1,300 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Cheltenham Village commands.
35% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 5.6% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.3% in 2006, is well off that peak. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Against average income of $112,986, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
