Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sharon
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Average gross rent is $1,031, 25% above the Sharon average. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.2/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 54 filings here across 7 tracked years.
The voucher gap is 13.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. It sits 0.7 points above the Mercer County average of 4.0. Filings peaked in 2006 at 12.1% of renter households.
In a typical year about 5.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 4.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
42% 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.
