Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Olney
Against Philadelphia County at 49.1%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.
Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 134 filings here across 4 tracked years. Average gross rent is $1,221, 13% below the Philadelphia average.
The worst year on record was 2012, when 7.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 6.7% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #15,451 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
