Chambersburg Eviction Risk: Elevated

The severe-burden share is 29%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 2.0 points above the Franklin County average of 4.0. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, regional political climate reads 2.8/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 180 filings here across 6 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2006 at 5.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 4.8% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. roughly one in three of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

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.
