Hoverter Homes maps to a single census tract in Harrisburg, PA, population 5,339. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 51%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. 30% 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.
Cost burden runs 40% against 29.6% citywide, putting Hoverter Homes 10.7% over its own city. 77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. At $735 a month, rents sit 31% under what the rest of Harrisburg commands.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10. Court records for this tract carry 965 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2001, when filings touched 16.2% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 11.5% in 2006 against a 16.2% peak. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Harrisburg, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 10/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
One tract means one number: 7.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
