Lincoln University Eviction Risk: Moderate

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.9/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.3/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 12 filings here across 6 tracked years. 46% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Chester County average of 41.5%.

Filings peaked in 2002 at 2.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 4.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $112,702, an unusually wide affordability cushion. 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.

Average gross rent is $1,426, close to the Lincoln University average.
