Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Spring House

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.6/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 3 filings here across 2 tracked years. Against the Montgomery County average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.

Average gross rent is $2,957, 11% below the Spring House average. The worst year on record was 2003, when 0.5% of renter households were served.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
