Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Court records for this tract carry 68 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2000 at 2.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 1.4% in 2006 against a 2.1% peak.
Against average income of $119,863, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,837, close to the Narberth average.
44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
