· range 3–3
Regency Park maps to a single census tract in Plum, PA, population 3,633. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 25.7% citywide, putting Regency Park 20.5% over its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. 20% 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. Court records for this tract carry 27 eviction filings.
On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 9.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.1% in 2006 against a 9.5% peak.
That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Plum. Only 9% 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.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Hoeveler and Renton. Rent takes 15% 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.
One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
