Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lenkerville
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.5/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Court records carry 33 eviction filings across 6 observed years. The worst year on record was 2000, when 2.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.7% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 12% 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 5.4/10.
Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $57,260, an unusually wide affordability cushion. 36% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Dauphin County average of 4.6 closely.
Average gross rent is $822, close to the Lenkerville average.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
