Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gabby Heights

96% 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. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the high side, economic stress reads 8.9/10. Against the Washington County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points. Average gross rent is $708, 22% below the Washington average.

Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 322 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2000 at 10.2% of renter households.

In a typical year about 8.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.
