Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Clark
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.4/10.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Mercer County average of 4.0.
The filing record is not thin: 11 evictions over 6 years of observation. Average gross rent is $785, 14% above the Clark average.
The worst year on record was 2005, when 5.8% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 11% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $77,875, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
