Hamilton Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Millersville, PA and houses 5,262 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10.
Against a Millersville baseline of 30.4%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
13% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 266 evictions logged in this tract.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 8.7% of renter households.
Judgments average 2.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Georgetown Hills and Crossgates Neighborhood score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 18% 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. Average gross rent runs $1,368, close to the Millersville average. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.9/10 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.
