Lionville Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Against Chester County at 41.5%, around a third of renters here are cost-burdened.

Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The voucher gap is 20.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Court records carry 41 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

Running hot, supply constraint reads 7/10. Average gross rent is $2,171, 13% above the Lionville average. The worst year on record was 2005, when 5.0% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 19% 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. Social vulnerability reads 1.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport 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.
