McClellan Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 3,476 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.3/10 · range 7.3–7.3

McClellan Heights maps to a single census tract in York, PA, population 3,476. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.3/10, Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 60% against 33.0% citywide, putting McClellan Heights 26.5% over its own city.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $42,093 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

This is a renter market: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 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.

Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.7/10. Running hot is economic stress at 7.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 413 evictions logged in this tract.

At $1,134 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of York commands. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 16.6% of renter households. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of York, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

Judgments average 5.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.3/10 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.
