Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tract 42017101404

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.

Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The voucher gap is 25.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, supply constraint reads 7.5/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 54 filings here across 7 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2003 at 9.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 6.0% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 42nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Poverty sits at 5%, 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.
