Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Eagle Lake

The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 3.2/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Lackawanna County average of 5.7 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 49 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 4.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 7.5% of renter households in 2006.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 19th 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.
