Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Broomall
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 6.6/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Delaware County average of 5.9 and above the Pennsylvania statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 26th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 31 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 1.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.4% of renter households in 2000.
