Wildflower Pond is a one-tract neighborhood of Clay, PA, population 5,647. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. 38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Clay rate of 23.6%.
The severe-burden share is 27%. 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 1.2/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10.
The filing record is not thin: 164 evictions logged in this tract. Average gross rent is $1,182, 14% above the Clay average of $1,033. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 23.3% of renter households.
Judgments average 3.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
