Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 42029311000
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 168 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2005, when 11.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 5.8% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 18% 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 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 7% of average household income of $121,827, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
It tracks the Chester County average of 4.4 closely. Average gross rent runs $727 a month.
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.
