Finleyville is a one-tract suburb of Gastonville, PA, population 3,091. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 48% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Gastonville rate of 34.4%.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.8/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The filing record is not thin: 192 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 17.8% of renter households.
At $933 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Gastonville commands. The most recent observed rate, 8.1% in 2006, is well off that peak.
At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3.1/10 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.
