Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Westmoreland
Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.4/10.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,632 evictions over 9 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2014 at 39.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 30.8% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the New Castle County average of 4.2 closely.
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.
