Bradford Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 5,179 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10 · range 3.8–5.9

Bradford Hills takes in 2 census tracts of Exton, PA and houses 5,179 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, Moderate tier. 48% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Exton rate of 24.4%.

The voucher gap is 36.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 8.7/10.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.8 to 5.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.6/10.

Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 28 evictions logged in this tract.

Average gross rent is $2,466, 12% above the Exton average of $2,202. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 6.3% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 1.8% in 2006, is well off that peak. At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $133,189.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
