Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 42029300302
What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 68.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Chester County average of 4.4. Against Chester County at 41.5%, 47% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 5 filings here across 5 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2000 at 1.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.8% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 29% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 3% 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 1.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $245,224, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
