Engleton maps to a single census tract in Harrisburg, PA and houses 2,663 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.6/10, in the Elevated tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10.
The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 32% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 1,068 evictions logged in this tract. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.1/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 19.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 16.0% in 2006 against a 19.8% peak.
Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Harrisburg, it ranks #8 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Olde Uptown and Bellevue Park. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $1,112, close to the Harrisburg average. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
