Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sterling Hills

The voucher gap is 39.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 9/10. SNAP participation runs 5.6% against 15.2% nationally. The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 75 filings here across 14 tracked years. It sits 0.8 points below the Lancaster County average of 3.8.

Housing insecurity runs 6.9% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2006, when 5.4% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.9/10.

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.
