East End Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 2,387 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

East End is a one-tract neighborhood of Williamsport, PA and houses 2,387 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 43% against 29.9% citywide, putting East End 13.3% over its own city.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.6/10.

The filing record is not thin: 289 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 9.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.9% in 2006 against a 9.7% peak.

That places it #1 of 7 neighborhoods in Williamsport. The closest comparables inside the same city are Park Avenue and Millionaire's Row. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
