Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Yorktown
What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.6/10. The poverty rate is 38%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.1/10.
67% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6.
Average gross rent is $1,093, 22% below the Philadelphia average. 54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Philadelphia County average of 49.1%. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 288 filings here across 4 tracked years.
Filings peaked in 2010 at 14.4% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 13.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
