Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pantops
Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.6/10. Against the Centre County average of 4.5, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Well under the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 2.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,583, 19% above the Park Forest Village average.
On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.4/10.
Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $128,814, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 46% of renters.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
