Nationally it ranks #19,618 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Model confidence here is 45%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point.
