Blackridge is a 2-tract neighborhood of Churchill, PA and houses 6,693 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 7.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Average gross rent is $390, 66% below the Churchill average of $1,136. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.6/10. 23% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, under the Churchill rate of 28.6%.
The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Filings are well documented here: 1,194 across 2 observed tracts.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 15.2% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 9.0% in 2006, is well off that peak. Against average income of $72,415, annual rent is only 6%, a wide affordability cushion.
37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 4.5 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.
