Heatherwood Heights maps to a single census tract in Akron, PA, population 4,135. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Akron baseline of 27.9%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. Court records for this tract carry 95 eviction filings.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 3.7% of renter households. Judgments average 1.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,106, close to the Akron average.
40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
