Royal Square District Eviction Risk: Elevated , York

Severe burden reaches 37%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the York County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.9 points. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.2/10. The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

This is renter territory: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $29,106, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the high side, economic stress reads 9/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 791 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2006, when 36.5% of renter households were served.

At $926 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of York commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 24.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #11,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
