Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Dogwood Hollow

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10.

The filing record is not thin: 15 evictions over 6 years of observation. At $1,384 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Levittown commands.

Filings peaked in 2006 at 28.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 10.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 33rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 4% 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 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $112,596, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

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