Cedarbrook spans 5 census tracts of Philadelphia, PA, population 15,809. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 41%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
67% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Philadelphia rate of 31.4%. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 5.2 to 6.6. A 1.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Court records carry 536 eviction filings across its 5 observed tracts.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 19.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 7.4% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 152 mapped neighborhoods of Philadelphia, it ranks #90 by risk, the middle third. At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Average gross rent runs $1,321, close to the Philadelphia average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $61,098.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
