Siegfried Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 10,754 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3–4.5

Siegfried spans 2 census tracts of Northampton, PA and houses 10,754 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.8/10.

The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. At $1,442 a month, rents sit 23% over what the rest of Northampton commands. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Northampton rate of 30.0%. Court records carry 252 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 26.7% of renter households.

Judgments average 4.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. 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.

Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
