Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Chopersville

Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.
Model confidence here is 45%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
