College Park maps to a single census tract in Bala Cynwyd, PA and houses 3,602 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Bala Cynwyd rate of 29.2%.
Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 60 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2000, when filings touched 4.6% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,701, 10% below the Bala Cynwyd average of $1,886.
Recent filings have not receded much: 3.6% in 2006 against a 4.6% peak. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
