Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bunker Hill

20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.4/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.2/10. On the national scale it lands near the 77th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $797, close to the Pottsville average.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $36,133. 65% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
