Iona spans 4 census tracts of Plymouth, PA and houses 7,565 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Plymouth baseline of 31.4%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.9 to 6, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10.
The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Filings are well documented here: 264 across 4 observed tracts. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.
The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 8.3% of renter households. Judgments average 2.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Average gross rent runs $891, close to the Plymouth average.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $52,189. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
