Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Princeton

The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 6.9/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Collin County average of 4.7 and in line with the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 211 eviction filings here over 13 tracked years, with about 7.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 23.6% of renter households in 2007.
