Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hatboro
Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 42.6% across Montgomery County. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10.
Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10.
Court records carry 173 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Filings peaked in 2005 at 9.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 6.3% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
It tracks the Montgomery County average of 4.3 closely. Average gross rent is $1,782, close to the Hatboro average.
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.
