Chartiers Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 3,078 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.6/10 · range 7.6–7.6

Chartiers maps to a single census tract in McKees Rocks, PA, population 3,078. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10.

26% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 342 eviction filings. Cost burden runs roughly one in three against 31.8% citywide, putting Chartiers 3.3% over its own city.

The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 13.6% of renter households. Judgments average 6.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Average gross rent runs $1,108, close to the McKees Rocks average. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $45,549.

45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 7.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
