Holly Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of West York, PA, population 5,069. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, Moderate tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 22% of renter households.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 441 evictions logged in this tract.
9% 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. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 13.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 9.1% in 2006 against a 13.7% peak.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $962, close to the West York average.
50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
