Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Chartiers

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.5/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.

Against Allegheny County at 40.6%, 35% of renters here are cost-burdened. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Court records carry 342 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2006, when 13.6% of renter households were served.

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 9.1% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 88th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 3.0 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,108, close to the McKees Rocks average.

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