Dogwood Eviction Risk: Lower

Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 41.5% across Chester County. Against the Chester County average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 20 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2002, when 3.4% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 29% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 1.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 9% of average household income of $208,950, an unusually wide affordability cushion. 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. Poverty sits at 1%, 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.
