Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lorane

The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at 6.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Lorane, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Berks County average of 5.7 and above the Pennsylvania statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 134 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 12.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 18.3% of renter households in 2000.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 50th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
