Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Blue Bell

The voucher gap is 94.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. around a third of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Montgomery County average of 42.6%. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

Against the Montgomery County average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.2/10. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 4 filings here across 2 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2001, when 3.8% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 3.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 9% 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.

Social vulnerability reads 1.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.

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