Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Plymouth Meeting
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 8.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Montgomery County average of 5.4 and above the Pennsylvania statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 20th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 8 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 5.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.7% of renter households in 2001.
