Presidential Heights takes in 2 census tracts of Shrewsbury, PA and houses 7,239 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Shrewsbury rate of 32.6%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
Severe burden reaches 9%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. At $1,172 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of Shrewsbury commands. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
