The voucher gap is 26.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. 19% 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, economic stress reads 1.7/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 70 filings here across 6 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2003 at 7.4% of renter households.
In a typical year about 4.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 51st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 1.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 35% of renters.
It tracks the Dauphin County average of 4.6 closely.
