Hoeveler Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 7,547 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Hoeveler maps to a single census tract in Plum, PA and houses 7,547 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 60% against 25.7% citywide, putting Hoeveler 34.2% over its own city.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Average gross rent is $865, 27% below the Plum average of $1,177. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. Court records for this tract carry 107 eviction filings.

The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 5.7% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 3/10.

Recent filings have not receded much: 4.8% in 2006 against a 5.7% peak. That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Plum.

Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Renton and Regency Park score within a fraction of it.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
