Eviction filings
Court-record eviction history
Court-validated eviction filings collected from county clerks and consolidated by the Eviction Lab at Princeton University. Filing rate is filings per 100 renter households.1
Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2/10. Cost burden runs 50% here against 42.6% across Montgomery County.
Against the Montgomery County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. The filing record is not thin: 118 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2005 at 3.8% of renter households.
In a typical year about 2.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
