Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Berwick
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.3/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Cost burden runs 46% here against 39.3% across York County. Food insecurity runs 10.4% against 17.8% nationally.
Nationally it ranks #47,371 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.7/10.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the York County average of 4.3 closely.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $71,183.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
