Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Belmont
Cost burden runs around two-thirds here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.5/10. Annualized rent equals 47% of average household income of $29,122, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The poverty rate is 38%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. 70% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.
Average gross rent is $1,134, 19% below the Philadelphia average. The filing record is not thin: 326 evictions over 4 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2016, when 10.5% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
