The score combines local political climate, court disposition patterns, cost-of-eviction estimates, tenant organizing strength, and the likelihood of new tenant-protective legislation in the next legislative cycle.

Census ACS 2023 5-year estimates show median gross rent as a percentage of household income is 13.1% — a core driver of eviction filings, because households above 30% of income on rent are statistically more likely to miss a payment after any income shock. Median gross rent in Ellisburg is $905/month. About 32.8% of occupied units here are renter-occupied.

Economic stress: poverty rate 16.2%, unemployment 4.9%. Higher values correlate with higher eviction filing rates and longer court timelines.
