Eastwick Eviction Risk: Elevated

3 census tracts · pop 12,032 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.1/10 · range 6–7.8

Eastwick takes in 3 census tracts of Colwyn, PA, population 12,032. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.1/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.

21% 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. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 6 to 7.8. A 1.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Colwyn rate of 51.0%.

Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.4/10. Court records carry 1,122 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 17.6% of renter households.

Judgments average 6.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,222, close to the Colwyn average.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $58,587. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
