Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Park Avenue
The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.5/10.

Against Lycoming County at 38.9%, 51% of renters here are cost-burdened. The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. It sits 1.9 points above the Lycoming County average of 4.1.
Average gross rent is $639, 25% below the Williamsport average. The filing record is not thin: 915 evictions over 7 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2006, when 9.0% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 7.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
