· range 3.8–3.8
Gascola maps to a single census tract in Monroeville, PA, population 4,420. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, Lower tier. 18% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well below the Monroeville rate of 29.1%.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.2/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 54 evictions logged in this tract.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10. At $1,021 a month, rents sit 13% under what the rest of Monroeville commands.
The worst year on record was 2001, when filings touched 10.9% of renter households. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 5.1% in 2006, is well off that peak.
At 10% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
