Eastland Hills takes in 2 census tracts of Waynesboro, PA, population 7,419. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 42% against 27.5% citywide, putting Eastland Hills 14.5% over its own city.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.2 to 5.6, a 1.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
15% 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. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.8/10. Court records carry 329 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 6.1% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,013, 7% below the Waynesboro average of $1,086.
Judgments average 2.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
