Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 42029301300
around a third of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Chester County average of 41.5%. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Court records carry 46 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2006, when 4.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.3% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 16% 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.4/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
It tracks the Chester County average of 4.4 closely.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
