Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Homeville
Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.1/10. Against Allegheny County at 40.6%, around a third of renters here are cost-burdened.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. It sits 1.2 points below the Allegheny County average of 5.0. Average gross rent is $906, 16% above the West Mifflin average.
The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 38 filings here across 7 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2002 at 7.2% 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 4.2% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 17% 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.
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.
