Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Mount Airy
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.
16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 234 filings here across 4 tracked years. At $1,184 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands.
Cost burden runs 53% here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County. Filings peaked in 2012 at 14.6% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining").

In a typical year about 9.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
