Patterson Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.1/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.2/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10. Against the Beaver County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. At $782 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Patterson Heights commands.

The filing record is not thin: 42 evictions over 4 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2001 at 4.2% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.7% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 18% 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 3.9/10.

Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $77,005, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
