Polish Hill maps to a single census tract in Oil City, PA and houses 1,724 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 33.2% citywide, putting Polish Hill 10.6% over its own city.
The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 20% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.2/10.
Court records for this tract carry 58 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 3.4% of renter households. At $760 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Oil City commands.

57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
