Dutch Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,876 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.6/10 · range 5.6–5.6

Dutch Hill maps to a single census tract in Williamsport, PA, population 2,876. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 39%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Williamsport rate of 29.9%. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.

On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.6/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Court records for this tract carry 162 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 6.4% of renter households.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 3/10. That places it #4 of 7 neighborhoods in Williamsport. Judgments average 3.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Park Avenue and East End. Average gross rent runs $900, close to the Williamsport average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $49,917.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
