Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.3/10. The voucher gap is 33.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $79,750, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the high side, supply constraint reads 8.3/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 226 filings here across 16 tracked years.

Against Cabarrus County at 40.9%, 37% of renters here are cost-burdened. Filings peaked in 2016 at 7.4% of renter households.

At $2,427 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Harrisburg commands. In a typical year about 6.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #56,048 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 18% 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.

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.
