Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Doylestown

Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 13 filings here across 5 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2005 at 4.2% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 19% 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 2.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $115,792, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
