Highfield maps to a single census tract in Blue Ridge Summit, PA, population 3,624. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, Lower tier. Against a Blue Ridge Summit baseline of 31.1%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.3/10.
Court records for this tract carry 68 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 5.0% of renter households.
Judgments average 2.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $866, close to the Blue Ridge Summit average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
