Princeton Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. The voucher gap is 19.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 211 evictions over 13 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2007 at 23.6% of renter households.

In a typical year about 7.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 3.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
