Lower Thornburg Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 969 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Lower Thornburg maps to a single census tract in Rosslyn Farms, PA and houses 969 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.9/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.1/10. The filing record is not thin: 1 evictions logged in this tract.

The worst year on record was 2000, when filings touched 3.5% of renter households. Judgments average 3.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

At 2% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 1%, 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.
