Moxham takes in 3 census tracts of Johnstown, PA, population 5,025. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 42% against 28.3% citywide, putting Moxham 13.4% over its own city.
Average gross rent is $832, 29% above the Johnstown average of $644. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.9 to 5.8, a 1.9-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Court records carry 44 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 5.2% of renter households. That places it #4 of 4 neighborhoods in Johnstown. Judgments average 2.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Roxbury and Oakhurst Homes. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $42,614. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 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.
