Shortridge Eviction Risk: Moderate , Narberth

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.4/10.

The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Court records carry 68 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2000, when 2.1% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 1.3% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #48,956 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 45% of renters.

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.
