Canterbury is a one-tract neighborhood of York, PA and houses 1,601 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.2/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a York baseline of 33.0%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
At $1,267 a month, rents sit 25% over what the rest of York commands. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.7/10.
The filing record is not thin: 40 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.6/10. Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 7.5% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.2% in 2006, is well off that peak. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of York, it ranks #11 by risk, the lower third. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
