Against a Nanticoke baseline of 27.5%, 33% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Filings are well documented here: 180 across 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 4.7% of renter households.
At $862 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Nanticoke commands. Judgments average 1.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Against average income of $62,337, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
