Sand Hill takes in 2 census tracts of Lebanon, PA and houses 8,526 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.2/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Lebanon baseline of 28.2%, 51% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 26%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.7 to 6.7, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Filings are well documented here: 725 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 15.0% of renter households. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7/10.
Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Lebanon, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 4.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Pleasant Hill and Lebanon South.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
