Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wandering Creek

On the high side, supply constraint reads 8.8/10. Food insecurity runs 5.6% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 4.5% against 14.2% nationally.

Court records carry 8 eviction filings across 6 observed years. Against the Lancaster County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. 40% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Lancaster County average of 43.9%.
