Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Greenwood Hills
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.5/10. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10.
It sits 1.1 points below the Dauphin County average of 4.6. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 114 filings here across 6 tracked years.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 3.1/10. The worst year on record was 2006, when 11.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 8.6% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Social vulnerability reads 3.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $83,658, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
