· range 5.2–5.2
Ridgeview maps to a single census tract in Colonial Park, PA, population 7,910. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Colonial Park rate of 29.2%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. 20% 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.
The filing record is not thin: 2,253 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 32.7% of renter households. At $1,246 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Colonial Park commands.
The most recent observed rate, 17.5% in 2006, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Colonial Park.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Twin Lakes Park and Catalina. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $66,638.
56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
