Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oreland
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.4/10. Court records carry 119 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
It sits 0.8 points below the Montgomery County average of 4.3. Filings peaked in 2000 at 7.7% 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 5.8% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 13% 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.6/10. Against average income of $92,250, annual rent is just 15%. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.
