Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Taylor
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 7.3/10. 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 Taylor, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Lackawanna County average of 5.7 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 83rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 461 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 8.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 9.5% of renter households in 2001.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
