Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Harleysville
Average gross rent is $1,224, 31% below the Harleysville average. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.8/10.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.5/10.
10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 87 evictions over 7 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2000, when 5.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.4/10.
