Analysis
What drives eviction risk in New Britain
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 27 filings here across 7 tracked years. Against the Bucks County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.
The voucher gap is 12.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Filings peaked in 2006 at 10.5% of renter households.
In a typical year about 4.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 14% 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 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.4 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, 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.
