Forest Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Red Lion, PA and houses 6,459 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 37.4% citywide, putting Forest Hills 19.4% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10. The filing record is not thin: 937 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 17.2% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 13.3% in 2006 against a 17.2% peak. Against average income of $63,672, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.
Average gross rent runs $863, close to the Red Lion average. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
