· range 4.3–4.3
Catalina maps to a single census tract in Colonial Park, PA and houses 6,030 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Cost burden runs 37% against 29.2% citywide, putting Catalina 8.0% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 770 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 21.0% of renter households. At $1,304 a month, rents sit 6% under what the rest of Colonial Park commands. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Colonial Park, it ranks #3 by risk, the lower third.
Judgments average 3.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, David Manor and Twin Lakes Park score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
