Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bristol
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.4/10. It sits 1.5 points above the Bucks County average of 4.0.
The filing record is not thin: 352 evictions over 7 years of observation. Cost burden runs 46% here against 41.8% across Bucks County.
Filings peaked in 2006 at 14.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 13.0% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
