Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Academy Manor
Against the Dauphin County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.5 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
At $1,311 a month, rents run 23% over what the rest of Harrisburg commands. Cost burden runs 46% here against 39.0% across Dauphin County. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Court records carry 638 eviction filings across 6 observed years. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.1/10. The worst year on record was 2003, when 25.7% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 23.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 7.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.5 points hotter.
