Norristown Eviction Risk: Elevated

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. 28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.

This is renter territory: 65% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, economic stress reads 2/10.

Average gross rent is $1,145, 19% below the Norristown average. The filing record is not thin: 529 evictions over 7 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2005, when 15.3% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 10.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 86th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 9.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.6 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 46% of renters.

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