Whisper Run Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,180 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Whisper Run is a one-tract neighborhood of Stonybrook, PA, population 6,180. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 17% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well below the Stonybrook rate of 36.1%.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.7/10. Court records for this tract carry 70 eviction filings.

On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.8/10. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 9.7% of renter households.

Judgments average 2.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 2% 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.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
