Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 42017102003
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.6/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10. The voucher gap is 20.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Court records carry 20 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 7.1/10.
Against the Bucks County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. Filings peaked in 2003 at 4.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.1% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. 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 1.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
