Fox Chase Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,624 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.7/10 · range 4.7–4.7

Fox Chase maps to a single census tract in Rockledge, PA, population 2,624. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 38% against 27.0% citywide, putting Fox Chase 11.4% over its own city.

The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The filing record is not thin: 32 evictions logged in this tract.

The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 2.2% of renter households. Judgments average 1.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Against average income of $82,708, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $1,095, close to the Rockledge average. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.7/10 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.
