Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Telford

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 48% here against 41.8% across Bucks County.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 31 filings here across 7 tracked years. It sits 0.7 points above the Bucks County average of 4.0. Average gross rent is $1,179, 10% below the Telford average.

The worst year on record was 2000, when 1.8% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.0% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 55th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.3/10. Against average income of $80,787, annual rent is just 18%.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
