Analysis
What drives eviction risk in New Colony
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 9.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Allegheny County average of 5.6 and above the Pennsylvania statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 73 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 5.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 8.1% of renter households in 2004.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 53rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
