Grandview Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,255 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Grandview Heights maps to a single census tract in Erie, PA, population 4,255. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 423 evictions logged in this tract. At $730 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Erie commands.

36% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, slightly above the Erie rate of 32.9%. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 15.8% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 7.9% in 2006, is well off that peak. That places it #20 of 26 neighborhoods in Erie.

The closest comparables inside the same city are East Bayfront and Southwest Erie. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 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.
