Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fineview
At $589 a month, rents run 53% under what the rest of Pittsburgh commands. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10.
Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Court records carry 1,176 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Filings peaked in 2003 at 60.4% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 47.6% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 5.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $50,673, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.7 points hotter. 53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
