Newburg Homes is a one-tract neighborhood of Palmer Heights, PA, population 3,893. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 50%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. The filing record is not thin: 29 evictions logged in this tract.
On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.6/10. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Palmer Heights rate of 54.7%. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 10.0% of renter households.
Judgments average 3.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 6% 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.
Against average income of $100,536, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,386, close to the Palmer Heights average.
One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
