Ludwick Eviction Risk: Moderate

7 census tracts · pop 19,110 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.7/10 · range 3.3–5.7

Ludwick spans 7 census tracts of Greensburg, PA, population 19,110. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Greensburg baseline of 28.7%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.3 to 5.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10.

The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2/10.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Average gross rent is $893, 6% above the Greensburg average of $839. Against average income of $65,171, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.

40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
