Bristol Eviction Risk: Moderate

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Against Bucks County at 41.8%, 52% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.4/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 144 evictions over 7 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2002 at 8.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 6.3% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $88,208, annual rent is just 18%.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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