New Britain Eviction Risk: Lower

Against Bucks County at 41.8%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. The voucher gap is 22.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, supply constraint reads 7.3/10.

The filing record is not thin: 152 evictions over 7 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2005, when 6.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
