Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Washington Heights
Cost burden runs 58% here against 35.8% across Cumberland County. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.1/10.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. Against the Cumberland County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.
Court records carry 101 eviction filings across 3 observed years. At $883 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Lemoyne commands.
Filings peaked in 2000 at 4.6% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 4.2% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
