Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Meetinghouse Glen
The main counterweight is economic stress at 2.3/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 34 filings here across 6 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2005, when 18.3% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 5.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition 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. 42% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
It tracks the Chester County average of 4.4 closely.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
