Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cedar Grove
Cost burden runs roughly two in three here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.5/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $40,870, 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. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $1,166 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands.
The filing record is not thin: 235 evictions over 4 years of observation. Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.
Filings peaked in 2012 at 7.8% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 6.6% of renter households face a filing.
