Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kistler
The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,103, 24% above the Kistler average.
The voucher gap is 21.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, regional political climate reads 2.2/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 13 filings here across 6 tracked years.
It sits 0.6 points below the Mifflin County average of 4.0. Filings peaked in 2001 at 1.8% of renter households.
In a typical year about 1.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #59,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 23% 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.
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.
