These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in East Allegheny

Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.

Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.5/10.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.7 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 40% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $51,293.

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