North End Eviction Risk: Moderate

6 census tracts · pop 13,250 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 4.1–6.2

North End spans 6 census tracts of Kingston, PA and houses 13,250 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Kingston rate of 27.1%.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.1 to 6.2, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Filings are well documented here: 333 across 6 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 7.7% of renter households.

Judgments average 1.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Average gross rent runs $1,062, close to the Kingston average.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $61,078. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.1 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.
