Sterlingworth maps to a single census tract in Dorneyville, PA and houses 4,062 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 56% against 22.1% citywide, putting Sterlingworth 33.8% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 25.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 28 evictions logged in this tract.
Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 1.4% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.2% in 2006, is well off that peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,888, close to the Dorneyville average. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $78,417.
51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
