24% 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. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records carry 3,110 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 34.0% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 17.9% in 2006, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $984, 7% below the Harrisburg average of $1,062. That places it #10 of 11 neighborhoods in Harrisburg.
For a like-for-like read, SoMa and Engleton score within a fraction of it.
