Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Glenside

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.4/10.

48% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Montgomery County average of 42.6%. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 104 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2005, when 11.4% of renter households were served.

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 7.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #48,956 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.7/10. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $96,316, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
