Tract 42029300301 Eviction Risk: Lower

Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against Chester County at 41.5%, roughly one in three of renters here are cost-burdened. Against the Chester County average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points.

The filing record is not thin: 9 evictions over 7 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2003, when 1.3% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 0.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 5% 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.3/10. Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $160,440, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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.
