Park Avenue takes in 2 census tracts of Williamsport, PA and houses 8,883 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs about half against 29.9% citywide, putting Park Avenue 20.3% over its own city.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. 25% 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. The poverty rate is 32%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
This is a renter market: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.9/10.
On the high side is economic stress at 7.8/10. Filings are well documented here: 1,534 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 9.0% of renter households.
At $761 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Williamsport commands. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Williamsport, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 4.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
