Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lancaster

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $69,079 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. 16% 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: 894 evictions over 18 years of observation.

It sits 0.7 points above the Dallas County average of 3.8. Filings peaked in 2013 at 15.6% of renter households. At $1,843 a month, rents run 8% over what the rest of Lancaster commands.

In a typical year about 16.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
