Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wyndmoor
56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Montgomery County average of 42.6%. Average gross rent is $1,118, 36% below the Flourtown average. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.2/10.
Running hot, local political climate reads 8.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.3/10.
The filing record is not thin: 35 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2001 at 2.3% of renter households. This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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 1.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 38th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.5/10.
