Royal Square District Eviction Risk: Elevated , York

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

92% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.2/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.

The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 545 evictions over 7 years of observation. Average gross rent is $862, 15% below the York average.

Filings peaked in 2006 at 19.9% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 13.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
