Lower Moosic maps to a single census tract in Avoca, PA and houses 2,527 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
roughly one in three of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Avoca rate of 23.3%. The filing record is not thin: 32 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 2.1% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 1.5% in 2006 against a 2.1% peak. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $987, close to the Avoca average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
