North Hills maps to a single census tract in East York, PA, population 3,347. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the East York rate of 28.3%.
28% 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. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.9/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 588 evictions logged in this tract.
At $1,162 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of East York commands. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 45.4% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 24.4% in 2006, is well off that peak. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
