Pinewood Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,404 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Pinewood is a one-tract neighborhood of Avonia, PA and houses 5,404 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 62% against 9.0% citywide, putting Pinewood 52.8% over its own city.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.1/10.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.2/10. Court records for this tract carry 11 eviction filings. At $1,165 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Avonia commands.

Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 2.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2006, is well off that peak. Only 4% 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 $114,250, annual rent is only 12%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
