Iona Eviction Risk: Moderate , Plymouth

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs 45% here against 38.9% across Luzerne County.

Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.2/10. Court records carry 40 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.1/10.

Filings peaked in 2006 at 8.3% of renter households. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Wilkes-Barre. 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 3.7% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Luzerne County average of 4.5 closely. Average gross rent is $931, close to the Wilkes-Barre average.

Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $61,842. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
