Cabbage Hill maps to a single census tract in Lancaster, PA, population 4,098.

The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Running hot is economic stress at 7.4/10. Court records for this tract carry 908 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 20.1% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 18.5% in 2006 against a 20.1% peak. Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Lancaster, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, West End and Southside score within a fraction of it.

56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 6.6/10 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.
