Siverly Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 5,227 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3.2–4.5

Siverly spans 2 census tracts of Oil City, PA, population 5,227. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, Lower tier. Against a Oil City baseline of 33.2%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.2 to 4.5, a 1.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.7/10.

Filings are well documented here: 165 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 5.5% of renter households.

At $739 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Oil City commands. The most recent observed rate, 2.6% in 2006, is well off that peak.

Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
