What drives eviction risk in Glenside
67% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Montgomery County average of 42.6%. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10.
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.3/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 152 evictions over 7 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2005 at 7.8% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 4.9% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 23% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Against average income of $95,114, annual rent is just 17%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
