East Side Eviction Risk: Moderate , Lancaster

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.6/10. Against the Lancaster County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

Court records carry 744 eviction filings across 7 observed years. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.9/10.

Filings peaked in 2006 at 17.0% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Lancaster. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 15.4% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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