The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.8/10.

That places it #15 of 17 neighborhoods in Lancaster. Judgments average 2.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Grandview Heights and Sunnyside score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $85,274, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5/10 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.
