Downtown is a one-tract neighborhood of Beaver, PA and houses 2,305 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Beaver rate of 26.9%.
Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. The filing record is not thin: 21 evictions logged in this tract.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 1.4% of renter households. Judgments average 0.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Against average income of $57,652, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $906, close to the Beaver average.
42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
