1 census tracts · pop 3,882 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Fairfield-on-the-Lake maps to a single census tract in Northwest Harborcreek, PA and houses 3,882 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $916, close to the Northwest Harborcreek average.

29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
