Eviction filings
Court-record eviction history
Court-validated eviction filings collected from county clerks and consolidated by the Eviction Lab at Princeton University. Filing rate is filings per 100 renter households.1
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 7.7/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.4/10. Court records carry 45 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
It sits 0.6 points below the Mercer County average of 4.0. The worst year on record was 2001, when 9.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 6.1% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #59,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $63,819, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.
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.
