Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cedarbrook
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. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.
The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 66 evictions over 4 years of observation.
At $1,261 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands. Filings peaked in 2012 at 5.8% 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 4.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
