West End takes in 4 census tracts of Homeacre-Lyndora, PA and houses 8,924 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5/10, in the Moderate tier. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 7.2, a 4.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
around a third of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Homeacre-Lyndora rate of 26.8%. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.7/10. Court records carry 192 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.7/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 8.5% of renter households. Judgments average 2.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $980, close to the Homeacre-Lyndora average. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
