Grampian Hills Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 9,141 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10 · range 3–5.4

Grampian Hills is a 2-tract neighborhood of Williamsport, PA and houses 9,141 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.9/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 52% against 29.9% citywide, putting Grampian Hills 22.1% over its own city.

At $1,123 a month, rents sit 31% over what the rest of Williamsport commands. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2.6/10. Filings are well documented here: 181 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 6.0% of renter households.

Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Williamsport, it ranks #7 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 1.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

For a like-for-like read, Vallamont Hills and Grimesville score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
