Lakeside maps to a single census tract in Erie, PA and houses 3,316 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. At $541 a month, rents sit 38% under what the rest of Erie commands.
30% 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 clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Cost burden runs 40% against 32.9% citywide, putting Lakeside 7.2% over its own city. The filing record is not thin: 1,194 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2001, when filings touched 31.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 25.1% in 2006 against a 31.8% peak.
That places it #1 of 26 neighborhoods in Erie. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
