Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Georgetown Hills

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.6/10. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,601, 17% above the Millersville average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 250 filings here across 7 tracked years.

The voucher gap is 14.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Lancaster County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. Filings peaked in 2004 at 19.5% of renter households.

In a typical year about 11.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
