Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cedarbrook
Against Philadelphia County at 49.1%, 80% of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
The filing record is not thin: 58 evictions over 4 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2010, when 7.4% of renter households were served. 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 4.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #16,032 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.
