Bristol Eviction Risk: Moderate

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.4/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.9/10.

It sits 1.2 points above the Bucks County average of 4.0. The filing record is not thin: 374 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2004 at 7.0% of renter households.

In a typical year about 5.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

45% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Average gross rent is $1,347, close to the Bristol average.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $82,250.

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.
