Paschall Eviction Risk: Elevated

5 census tracts · pop 17,323 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.8/10 · range 4.7–7.8

Paschall takes in 5 census tracts of Darby, PA, population 17,323. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.8/10, Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.7 to 7.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10.

Cost burden runs 53% against 41.5% citywide, putting Paschall 11.2% over its own city. The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.3/10.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10. Filings are well documented here: 4,956 across 5 observed tracts.

Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 59.2% of renter households. Judgments average 6.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,313, close to the Darby average. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $50,635.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
