Eviction filings
Court-record eviction history
Court-validated eviction filings collected from county clerks and consolidated by the Eviction Lab at Princeton University. Filing rate is filings per 100 renter households.1
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.2/10. about half of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Bucks County average of 41.8%. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 11 filings here across 6 tracked years. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 3/10.
The worst year on record was 2006, when 6.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 10% 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. Social vulnerability reads 1.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Bucks County average of 4.0 closely.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
