Bethel Park Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. It sits 2.0 points below the Allegheny County average of 5.0. The voucher gap is 28.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

At $1,640 a month, rents run 25% over what the rest of Bethel Park commands. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.

On the high side, supply constraint reads 7.8/10. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 21 filings here across 7 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2002 at 5.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $117,574, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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