Coopertown Eviction Risk: Moderate

6 census tracts · pop 21,451 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5/10 · range 3.2–7.6

Coopertown takes in 6 census tracts of Bryn Mawr, PA and houses 21,451 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.2 to 7.6, a 4.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

33% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Against a Bryn Mawr baseline of 34.9%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The voucher gap is 22.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.6/10.

Court records carry 304 eviction filings across its 6 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 3.7% of renter households. Judgments average 0.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Average gross rent runs $2,202, close to the Bryn Mawr average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $122,082. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 4.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
