Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Roslyn

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.2/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10.

Court records carry 70 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Filings peaked in 2003 at 5.5% 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 4.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 43% of renters.

It tracks the Montgomery County average of 4.3 closely. Average gross rent is $1,325, close to the Roslyn average.

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.
