Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Telford

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.8/10.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 74 evictions over 7 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2003 at 5.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.7% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.4/10.

Against average income of $93,077, annual rent is just 16%. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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