Blooming Grove Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 9,250 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.5/10 · range 3.9–5.1

Blooming Grove takes in 2 census tracts of Parkville, PA and houses 9,250 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, Moderate tier. 19% 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.

Against a Parkville baseline of 27.3%, 35% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.9 to 5.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 3/10. The filing record is not thin: 25 evictions logged in this tract.

The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 3.7% of renter households. Judgments average 1.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Only 22% 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. Average gross rent runs $1,331, close to the Parkville average.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $78,877.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
