Woodlawn Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 4,949 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.6/10 · range 5.6–5.6

Woodlawn is a 2-tract neighborhood of Aliquippa, PA and houses 4,949 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 29.4% citywide, putting Woodlawn 20.2% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 38%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.8/10.

Filings are well documented here: 594 across 2 observed tracts. Running hot is economic stress at 7.4/10. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 19.0% of renter households.

Average gross rent is $742, 10% below the Aliquippa average of $821. Judgments average 6.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Against average income of $47,714, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.

With little internal variation, 5.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
