Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Briarcliffe

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.8/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 1.2 points above the Delaware County average of 4.7. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 125 evictions over 7 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2002, when 9.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 7.2% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 7.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
