Norristown Eviction Risk: Elevated

Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $52,168, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Cost burden runs about half here against 42.6% across Montgomery County. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10.

The filing record is not thin: 792 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2006 at 16.4% of renter households.

In a typical year about 10.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #11,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 7.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.7 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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.
