Northwest Triangle maps to a single census tract in York, PA, population 1,659. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a York baseline of 33.0%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
At $487 a month, rents sit 52% under what the rest of York commands. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 50%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. This is a renter market: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Set annual rent against average household income of $16,156 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. 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: 404 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 13.6% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 9.1% in 2006 against a 13.6% peak. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of York, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
