Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brookhaven Borough

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

The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.7 points below the Delaware County average of 4.7.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 247 evictions over 7 years of observation.

Average gross rent is $1,295, 13% below the Brookhaven average. The worst year on record was 2005, when 73.6% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 42.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 7% 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 3.7/10.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $102,593, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
