Verona Hilltop Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 1,977 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.5/10 · range 3.5–3.5

Verona Hilltop is a one-tract neighborhood of Oakmont, PA and houses 1,977 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Oakmont baseline of 26.5%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10.

Court records for this tract carry 34 eviction filings. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.8/10. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 4.7% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 1.2% in 2006, is well off that peak. At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,194, close to the Oakmont average.

One tract means one number: 3.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
