College Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Wesleyville, PA, population 3,209. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Wesleyville baseline of 37.3%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.9/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. Court records for this tract carry 381 eviction filings.
The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 18.5% of renter households. Average gross rent is $798, 8% below the Wesleyville average of $870.
Recent filings have not receded much: 12.6% in 2006 against a 18.5% peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $46,506. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
