Little Summit maps to a single census tract in Emerald Lakes, PA and houses 3,425 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 57%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 92% against 31.8% citywide, putting Little Summit 60.1% over its own city. Average gross rent is $1,670, 44% above the Emerald Lakes average of $1,161. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10.
The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Against average income of $101,143, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.4/10 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.
