Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Exeter
Pulling hardest the other way is eviction-process difficulty at 2.8/10. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.1/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 209 filings here across 7 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2006, when 5.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 42nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 21% 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. Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Exeter rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score. Social vulnerability reads 4.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
It tracks the Luzerne County average of 4.5 closely. Average gross rent is $1,026, close to the Exeter average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $49,432.
