Brookhaven Borough Eviction Risk: Lower

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.8/10. It sits 1.7 points below the Delaware County average of 4.7. 44% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Delaware County average of 50.9%.

The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The filing record is not thin: 59 evictions over 7 years of observation.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 3/10. The worst year on record was 2000, when 3.0% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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.
