Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Spring Mount
The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 7.7/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 33 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2001, when 3.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.3% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 14% 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. Social vulnerability reads 2.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $113,487, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Montgomery County average of 4.3 closely.
Average gross rent is $1,656, close to the Spring Mount 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.
