Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lincoln University

On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.1/10. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.3/10. 46% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Chester County average of 41.5%.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 14 filings here across 6 tracked years. Against the Chester County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

Filings peaked in 2005 at 2.2% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 10% 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 5.2/10. Against average income of $108,102, annual rent is just 15%.

Of its three components the household composition 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.
