Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Howellville
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 38 filings here across 7 tracked years.
It sits 0.7 points below the Chester County average of 4.4. Filings peaked in 2003 at 3.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.0% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 35th 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 1.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 9% of average household income of $233,306, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
