Eastlawn Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Erie, PA, population 4,084. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 8.9/10.
The poverty rate is 36%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 191 evictions logged in this tract. Against a Erie baseline of 32.9%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 10.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 7.5% in 2006 against a 10.1% peak. That places it #1 of 26 neighborhoods in Erie.
Only 24% 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. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $852, close to the Erie average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $39,397.
One tract means one number: 5.8/10 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.
