Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.5/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.3/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 64 filings here across 7 tracked years.

At $1,157 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Scranton commands. Filings peaked in 2006 at 4.0% of renter households.

In a typical year about 2.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Lackawanna County average of 4.6 closely.

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.
