WeCo District Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 5,306 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.3/10 · range 7.3–7.3

WeCo District spans 2 census tracts of York, PA and houses 5,306 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a York baseline of 33.0%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

17% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.7/10.

Filings are well documented here: 1,923 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 31.6% of renter households. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10.

At $1,083 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of York commands. That places it #1 of 11 neighborhoods in York.

Judgments average 14.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Park Village and Northwest Triangle.

With little internal variation, 7.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
