What drives eviction risk in Tract 42029300202
Against the Chester County average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. The filing record is not thin: 49 evictions over 7 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2004, when 21.8% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 8.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 29th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 1% 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 1.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
Model confidence here is 65%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
