Bethel Park Eviction Risk: Lower

Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.3/10.

It sits 2.0 points below the Allegheny County average of 5.0. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.

The filing record is not thin: 214 evictions over 7 years of observation. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 3.1/10. The worst year on record was 2005, when 12.0% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 7.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 20% 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 1.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $130,563, annual rent is just 12%.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.

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