Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Belmont
The poverty rate is 45%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $953, 32% below the Philadelphia average. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $32,999, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 593 filings here across 4 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 21.2% of renter households.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 16.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
