Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bowmanstown
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.6/10.
Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. That is riskier than roughly 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
It tracks the Carbon County average of 4.0 closely. Average gross rent is $1,081, close to the Bowmanstown average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $64,469.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
