New Fox Ridge takes in 2 census tracts of Harrisburg, PA and houses 3,875 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.1/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10.
74% 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. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. Filings are well documented here: 860 across 2 observed tracts.
roughly one in three of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Harrisburg rate of 29.6%. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.2/10. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 11.4% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 8.7% in 2006 against a 11.4% peak. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Harrisburg, it ranks #6 by risk, the middle third.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.5 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 7.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
