Lymehurst Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,806 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 4.2–4.2

Lymehurst maps to a single census tract in Kenmar, PA and houses 5,806 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. 57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Kenmar rate of 32.0%.

21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.3/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 107 evictions logged in this tract. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.2/10.

The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 3.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.9% in 2006, is well off that peak.

At 28% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $850, close to the Kenmar average.

One tract means one number: 4.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
