· range 3.7–4.6
Miners Mills takes in 2 census tracts of Plains, PA, population 8,980. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in three against 19.3% citywide, putting Miners Mills 10.7% over its own city.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10. 12% 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. Court records carry 211 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 4.1% of renter households.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 3.7% in 2006 against a 4.1% peak.
At 26% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.9 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $889, close to the Plains average.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
