CDC Social Vulnerability Index
SVI percentile: 8
CDC/ATSDR 2022. Higher = more vulnerable. National percentile across 84k tracts.
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.1/10.
The voucher gap is 15.5%: 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.
On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 3/10. That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $2,082, close to the Exton average.
Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $130,800. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
