Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Richlandtown

Cost burden runs 63% here against 41.8% across Bucks County. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.4/10.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 147 filings here across 7 tracked years.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 3.1/10. Filings peaked in 2004 at 6.8% of renter households.

In a typical year about 5.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 49th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
