Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Overbrook
27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10.
On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. 57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Philadelphia County average of 49.1%.
Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 144 filings here across 4 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2016 at 8.8% of renter households.
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 5.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.7/10. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
