Perry Park maps to a single census tract in Erie, PA, population 2,250. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 32.9% citywide, putting Perry Park 11.9% over its own city.
27% 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. Set annual rent against average household income of $35,692 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Average gross rent is $1,015, 17% above the Erie average of $870.
The filing record is not thin: 97 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 3.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.3% in 2006, is well off that peak.
That places it #14 of 26 neighborhoods in Erie. The closest comparables inside the same city are Marvintown and Bayfront. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
