Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Plymouth Meeting

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.8/10. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 90 filings here across 7 tracked years.

At $1,672 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Plymouth Meeting commands. Against the Montgomery County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 points.

Filings peaked in 2002 at 6.2% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 5.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
