Eviction filings
Court-record eviction history
Court-validated eviction filings collected from county clerks and consolidated by the Eviction Lab at Princeton University. Filing rate is filings per 100 renter households.1
The voucher gap is 94.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.
It sits 1.0 points below the Bucks County average of 4.0. The filing record is not thin: 6 evictions over 3 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2006 at 1.7% of renter households.
In a typical year about 1.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 5% 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 1.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
