Greenwood Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 8,937 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.1/10 · range 3.5–5.4

Greenwood Hills takes in 2 census tracts of Highspire, PA and houses 8,937 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Highspire baseline of 30.1%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.5 to 5.4, a 1.9-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.4/10.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. Filings are well documented here: 887 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 33.0% of renter households.

Judgments average 6.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $73,664, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.

Average gross rent runs $1,072, close to the Highspire average.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
