· range 3.6–6.1
Troy Hill spans 3 census tracts of Millvale, PA, population 8,035. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, Moderate tier. Against a Millvale baseline of 24.9%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3.6 to 6.1. A 2.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10.
12% 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. At $1,203 a month, rents sit 17% over what the rest of Millvale commands.
Court records carry 450 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 7.9% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 5.8% in 2006 against a 7.9% peak. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
