Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Levittown

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.4/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. At $1,147 a month, rents run 26% under what the rest of Levittown commands.

17% 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, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. The filing record is not thin: 315 evictions over 7 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2005, when 20.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 13.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 46th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 20% 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 1.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $110,978, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Bucks County average of 4.0 closely.

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