Fort Washington Eviction Risk: Lower

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.4/10.

At $1,610 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Fort Washington commands. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Court records carry 24 eviction filings across 6 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2004 at 3.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #54,273 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $115,156, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

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