Eviction filings
Court-record eviction history
Court-validated eviction filings collected from county clerks and consolidated by the Eviction Lab at Princeton University. Filing rate is filings per 100 renter households.1
12% 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, economic stress reads 2.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 107 evictions over 3 years of observation.
It sits 0.6 points above the Cumberland County average of 4.1. Filings peaked in 2004 at 7.0% of renter households.
In a typical year about 5.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.4/10. 35% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
Average gross rent runs $1,440 a month. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $74,247. 50% 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.
