Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Exton

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 52% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Chester County average of 41.5%.

The voucher gap is 18.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. It sits 0.9 points above the Chester County average of 4.4. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 3/10.

Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $2,135, close to the Exton average.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $125,221. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
