Park Hills is a 2-tract neighborhood of Park Forest Village, PA and houses 8,445 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. 60% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Park Forest Village rate of 44.6%.
The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.6/10.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.1/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.7 to 4.9, a 1.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.4/10.
The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,175 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Park Forest Village commands.
For a like-for-like read, Pantops and Saybrook score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
