Fort Washington Eviction Risk: Lower

83% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Montgomery County average of 42.6%. What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 10/10.

At $3,289 a month, rents run 65% over what the rest of Fort Washington commands. The voucher gap is 82.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. It sits 1.2 points below the Montgomery County average of 4.3.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 6 filings here across 5 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2006 at 22.6% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 8.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.9/10.

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