Norristown Eviction Risk: Elevated

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 86% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10. Cost burden runs 48% here against 42.6% across Montgomery County. Court records carry 749 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2006 at 12.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 10.9% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.1/10. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.7 points hotter.

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.
