Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Somerset

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.4/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10. On the national scale it lands near the 38th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Model confidence here is 60%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Warren County average of 3.5 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
