What drives eviction risk in Hill District
60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Allegheny County average of 40.6%. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 87%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. It sits 2.3 points above the Allegheny County average of 5.0. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.
Average gross rent is $1,040, 18% below the Pittsburgh average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,335 filings here across 7 tracked years.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 3.1/10. The worst year on record was 2003, when 79.7% of renter households were served.
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. In a typical year about 62.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
