Willow Grove Eviction Risk: Moderate

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Court records carry 227 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Filings peaked in 2006 at 7.4% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 4.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #47,371 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 2.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 41% of renters. It tracks the Montgomery County average of 4.3 closely.
