Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sharon

The severe-burden share is 29%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Against the Mercer County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points.

Set annual rent against average income of $29,079 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.2/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 229 filings here across 7 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2006 at 9.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 7.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 8.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
