What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.2/10.

That places it #16 of 17 neighborhoods in Lancaster. Judgments average 2.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Against average income of $96,678, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.9/10 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.
