Georgetown Heights maps to a single census tract in McKean, PA, population 4,881. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 19% of renter households.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.3/10.
Court records for this tract carry 211 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2001, when filings touched 24.2% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 7.1% in 2006, is well off that peak. At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $86,544, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $932, close to the McKean average.
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.
