St. Clair Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,680 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3.2–3.2

St. Clair is a one-tract neighborhood of Baldwin, PA, population 3,680. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.3/10.

Against a Baldwin baseline of 26.7%, 17% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2/10. The filing record is not thin: 41 evictions logged in this tract.

At $896 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Baldwin commands. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 6.2% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.1% in 2006 against a 6.2% peak.

At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $81,875, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
