Mount Zion Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,842 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Mount Zion maps to a single census tract in Arlington Heights, PA, population 3,842. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 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.

44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Arlington Heights rate of 36.5%. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.5/10.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.8/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,223, 7% below the Arlington Heights average of $1,320.

At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $118,188, annual rent is only 12%, a wide affordability cushion.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
