Green Ridge Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 5,484 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 3.3–5.6

Green Ridge spans 2 census tracts of Dunmore, PA, population 5,484. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Dunmore baseline of 26.9%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.3 to 5.6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Filings are well documented here: 188 across 2 observed tracts. Average gross rent is $1,044, 13% above the Dunmore average of $928. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 8.3% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 4.7% in 2006, is well off that peak. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
