Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Jalappa
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 8.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Pottsville eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores well above the Schuylkill County average of 4.8 and above the Pennsylvania statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 90th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 60 eviction filings here over 3 tracked years, with about 4.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 5.2% of renter households in 2003.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
