Dogwood Hollow takes in 5 census tracts of Levittown, PA and houses 22,605 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Levittown rate of 32.4%.
31% 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. Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 3.6 to 5.4. A 1.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2.2/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10. Filings are well documented here: 1,672 across 5 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 60.8% of renter households. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Judgments average 8.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Average gross rent runs $1,631, close to the Levittown average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $91,734.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
