Mount Pleasant Eviction Risk: Elevated
1 census tracts · pop 5,581 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.3/10 · range 7.3–7.3
Mount Pleasant is a one-tract neighborhood of Harrisburg, PA, population 5,581. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.3/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 62% against 29.6% citywide, putting Mount Pleasant 32.7% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10.
72% 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. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.3/10.
The filing record is not thin: 2,184 evictions logged in this tract. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 31.3% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 24.1% in 2006 against a 31.3% peak.
Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Harrisburg, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,082, close to the Harrisburg average. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $41,206.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
