Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ludwick

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs 43% here against 34.0% across Westmoreland County.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.4/10. Against the Westmoreland County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $79,539, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $967, close to the Grapeville average.

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