Slatington Eviction Risk: Moderate

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10.

The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $744 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Slatington commands. Court records carry 261 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

It sits 0.9 points above the Lehigh County average of 4.7. Filings peaked in 2005 at 7.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 5.7% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #22,681 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $50,170, annual rent is just 18%.

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.
