Isle of Que Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 5,710 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.8/10 · range 3–4.3

Isle of Que takes in 2 census tracts of Selinsgrove, PA, population 5,710. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, Lower tier. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.

36% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Selinsgrove rate of 27.6%. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.6/10.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Filings are well documented here: 62 across 2 observed tracts.

The voucher gap is 13.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 2.1% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 1.5% in 2006 against a 2.1% peak. Against average income of $70,653, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
