Upper Verona is a one-tract neighborhood of Verona, PA, population 2,629. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
Against a Verona baseline of 29.9%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.2/10.
Severe burden reaches 18%. 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: 189 evictions logged in this tract.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.6/10. At $798 a month, rents sit 13% under what the rest of Verona commands.
Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 6.3% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 4.3% in 2006 against a 6.3% peak.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Against average income of $49,703, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
