Dutch Hill maps to a single census tract in Tamaqua, PA and houses 4,230 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Tamaqua rate of 24.6%.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10.
The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.3/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10. Court records for this tract carry 48 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 3.5% of renter households.
Judgments average 2.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,000, close to the Tamaqua average.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $40,705. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 6/10 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.
