Middle Hill Eviction Risk: Elevated , Pittsburgh

At $681 a month, rents run 46% under what the rest of Pittsburgh commands. The poverty rate is 52%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 2.3 points above the Allegheny County average of 5.0.

Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Court records carry 478 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Filings peaked in 2002 at 13.9% of renter households.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Pittsburgh. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 12.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.6/10.

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.
