Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Emsworth
28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 98 evictions over 7 years of observation.
Average gross rent is $993, 10% below the Emsworth average. Filings peaked in 2003 at 5.4% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 3.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 6.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
