What drives eviction risk in Elmwood Park
Cost burden runs roughly three in four here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $45,521, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.2/10.
Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 111 filings here across 4 tracked years.
Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 points. The worst year on record was 2011, when 9.5% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 8.9% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.6 points hotter.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
