Wedgewood Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Progress, PA, population 5,976. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Progress baseline of 29.4%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
23% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 917 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 28.9% of renter households.
Judgments average 7.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Against average income of $76,504, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
Average gross rent runs $1,214, close to the Progress average. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
