Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tract 42045407404

The score leans hardest on eviction process difficulty at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Delaware County average of 5.9 and below the Pennsylvania statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 41 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 6.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 14.3% of renter households in 2006.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 18th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
