Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Crossgates Neighborhood
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 8.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Lancaster County average of 5.3 and above the Pennsylvania statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 17th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
