What drives eviction risk in McVeytown
Running cool, economic stress reads 1.9/10. On the softer side, housing-court posture reads 2.1/10. Cost burden runs 28% here against 34.8% across Mifflin County.
Against the Mifflin County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 13 filings here across 6 tracked years.

In a typical year about 0.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 18% 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5/10. Against average income of $62,254, annual rent is just 14%.
Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.
