West Grove maps to a single census tract in Avondale, PA and houses 7,185 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Avondale baseline of 35.9%, 69% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
32% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.8/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 9% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,458, close to the Avondale average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
