Stemton Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,390 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.4/10 · range 4.4–4.4

Stemton is a one-tract neighborhood of Coplay, PA, population 3,390. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Coplay baseline of 41.9%, 30% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

19% 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 main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.3/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 84 evictions logged in this tract. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10.

Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 6.6% of renter households. Judgments average 2.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Average gross rent runs $1,163, close to the Coplay average.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $67,768. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
