Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ridley Park

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.8/10.

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Delaware County average of 4.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.7 points. Average gross rent is $1,092, 19% below the Ridley Park average.

Court records carry 39 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2006, when 2.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.4% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $107,568, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
