Lower Verona takes in 3 census tracts of Blawnox, PA, population 11,095. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 23.2% citywide, putting Lower Verona 22.0% over its own city.
At $1,723 a month, rents sit 114% over what the rest of Blawnox commands. 31% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
The voucher gap is 34.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 6, a 3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.3/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.7/10. Filings are well documented here: 181 across 3 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 4.7% of renter households. Judgments average 1.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $98,628.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
