Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mayfield
The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 8.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Mayfield, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Lackawanna County average of 5.7 and in line with the Pennsylvania statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 37 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 2.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.9% of renter households in 2003.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 15th 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.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
