Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cedar Grove
The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Average gross rent is $991, 29% below the Philadelphia average. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
It sits 1.4 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6. Cost burden runs 42% here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County.
Court records carry 207 eviction filings across 4 observed years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 6.6% of renter households. 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 6.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
