Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Horsham

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10.

At $1,201 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Horsham commands. The filing record is not thin: 580 evictions over 7 years of observation. 8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Montgomery County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. The worst year on record was 2005, when 10.1% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 6.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.9/10. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 43% of renters. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $63,363.

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