West Side Eviction Risk: Moderate , Scranton

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. This is renter territory: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.5/10.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.3/10. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 147 evictions over 7 years of observation. Against the Lackawanna County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 points. Average gross rent is $941, 10% below the Scranton average.

The worst year on record was 2006, when 8.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.2/10. Against average income of $67,764, annual rent is just 17%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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.
