Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Chinchilla
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Against the Lackawanna County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points. The voucher gap is 22.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Average gross rent is $1,375, 22% below the Chinchilla average. Running cool, housing-court posture reads 2.6/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.3/10. Court records carry 36 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2002 at 2.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.2% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 20% 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.
