Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Colonial Terrace

Against Dauphin County at 39.0%, 27% of renters here are cost-burdened. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. It sits 1.6 points below the Dauphin County average of 4.6.

The voucher gap is 22.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.6/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 68 filings here across 6 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2006, when 11.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 6.1% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 8% 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 2.9/10. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $132,637, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
