Ross Common Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,042 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 4.3–4.3

Ross Common is a one-tract neighborhood of Wind Gap, PA, population 3,042. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 36% against 24.8% citywide, putting Ross Common 11.5% over its own city.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 89 evictions logged in this tract.

The severe-burden share is 10%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 3.2% of renter households. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 3/10.

Recent filings have not receded much: 2.1% in 2006 against a 3.2% peak. Against average income of $74,803, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $1,205, close to the Wind Gap average. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
