Blossom Hill is a 3-tract neighborhood of Dallastown, PA, population 10,813. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3.1 to 5.3. A 2.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Severe burden reaches 14%. 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: 797 evictions logged in this tract.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Against a Dallastown baseline of 35.8%, 32% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 13.7% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 8.5% in 2006 against a 13.7% peak. At $1,082 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Dallastown commands. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
