What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.4/10.
Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 134 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.9/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 3.3% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 3.2% in 2006 against a 3.3% peak. Average gross rent runs $1,116, close to the Hummelstown average.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $53,148. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
