Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Broomall

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.8/10. At $2,247 a month, rents run 27% over what the rest of Broomall commands. The voucher gap is 24.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

It sits 1.6 points below the Delaware County average of 4.7. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.1/10. Against Delaware County at 50.9%, 43% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Running hot, supply constraint reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 35 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2003 at 4.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 19% 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.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
