Grantly Hills Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,606 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Grantly Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Grantley, PA and houses 5,606 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 33% against 17.9% citywide, putting Grantly Hills 15.2% over its own city.

The voucher gap is 37.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The severe-burden share is 33%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 8.8/10.

Average gross rent is $1,846, 32% above the Grantley average of $1,396. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.2/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.1/10.

Court records for this tract carry 39 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 5.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.7% in 2006 against a 5.7% peak.

Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $133,052, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 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.
