Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Dogwood Hollow

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. Average gross rent is $1,850, 19% above the Levittown average. The filing record is not thin: 437 evictions over 7 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2004 at 14.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 11.8% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 15% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 45% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the Bucks County average of 4.0 closely. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $104,800.

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.
