Sharon Eviction Risk: Elevated

At $466 a month, rents run 44% under what the rest of Sharon commands. The poverty rate is 40%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. 50% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Mercer County average of 38.3%.

It sits 2.0 points above the Mercer County average of 4.0. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The filing record is not thin: 605 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2006 at 9.1% of renter households.

In a typical year about 7.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 9.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
