· range 3.4–6.8
Overbrook spans 6 census tracts of Brentwood, PA and houses 20,159 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Brentwood baseline of 29.7%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.4 to 6.8, a 3.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. 26% 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.
Average gross rent is $1,045, 22% above the Brentwood average of $860. Court records carry 905 eviction filings across its 6 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 14.5% of renter households. Judgments average 3.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 28% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
