Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hanover Section

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.7/10. Court records carry 62 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.1/10. It sits 0.8 points above the Luzerne County average of 4.5.

Average gross rent is $866, 9% above the Nanticoke average. The worst year on record was 2003, when 4.7% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $58,125, annual rent is just 18%. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
