Weir Lake Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,522 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Weir Lake is a one-tract neighborhood of Brodheadsville, PA, population 5,522. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 67% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.

The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.5/10.

Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.1/10. At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,007, close to the Brodheadsville average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
