Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brookhaven Borough
At $1,494 a month, rents run 48% under what the rest of Rose Valley commands. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.8/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.8/10.
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10. 61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Delaware County average of 50.9%. Against the Delaware County average of 4.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.7 points.
The filing record is not thin: 70 evictions over 7 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2002, when 3.0% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 2.9% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.4/10.
Against average income of $133,725, annual rent is just 13%.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
