Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sanatoga

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.2/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.

Average gross rent is $1,124, 30% below the Sanatoga average. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.6/10.

The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Court records carry 41 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2006, when 8.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $99,917, annual rent is just 13%.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Montgomery County average of 4.3 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
