Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cobbs Creek

Against the Delaware County average of 4.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.6 points. Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.8/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 300 filings here across 7 tracked years.

Average gross rent is $1,146, 13% above the Millbourne average. The worst year on record was 2005, when 10.0% 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 7.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.7 points hotter.

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