Somerset Village is a 2-tract neighborhood of Old Orchard, PA, population 9,643. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Old Orchard baseline of 14.8%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,734, 31% below the Old Orchard average of $2,524. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.2/10.
Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.2/10. Court records carry 68 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
The voucher gap is 15.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 3.9% of renter households. Judgments average 0.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 26% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
