Malvern Eviction Risk: Moderate

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

around a third of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Chester County average of 41.5%. Court records carry 74 eviction filings across 7 observed years. At $1,886 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Malvern commands.

Filings peaked in 2003 at 3.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Chester County average of 4.4 closely. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $106,638. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
