Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Roslyn
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 4.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Roslyn, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Montgomery County average of 5.4 and below the Pennsylvania statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 58th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 45 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 9.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 15.7% of renter households in 2003.
