Ewen takes in 2 census tracts of Pittston, PA and houses 7,411 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10.
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. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 4 to 5.1. A 1.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.8/10. Court records carry 82 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
Cost burden runs 33% against 28.2% citywide, putting Ewen 4.3% over its own city. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 1.9% of renter households.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 3/10. Judgments average 0.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $905, close to the Pittston average.
46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
