Twin Lakes Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Colonial Park, PA, population 4,392. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, Moderate tier. 42% 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. The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,160, 17% below the Colonial Park average of $1,392.
The filing record is not thin: 1,168 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2000 at 48.4% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 13.9% in 2006, is well off that peak. That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in Colonial Park. For a like-for-like read, Catalina and Ridgeview score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $53,759.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
