Pantops Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,697 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Pantops is a one-tract neighborhood of Park Forest Village, PA, population 3,697. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.

Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.6/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.1/10.

Average gross rent is $1,583, 19% above the Park Forest Village average of $1,331. The voucher gap is 10.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 47% of renter households. Against average income of $128,814, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
