Fields at Willow Brook is a one-tract neighborhood of North Catasauqua, PA and houses 2,956 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 48%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
88% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the North Catasauqua rate of 40.0%. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.4/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 64 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2000 at 4.8% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 5.9% in 2006 against a 4.8% peak. At 22% 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 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $944, close to the North Catasauqua average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 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.
