· range 7.3–7.3
Riverview spans 4 census tracts of McKeesport, PA and houses 6,171 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.3/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a McKeesport baseline of 38.1%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The poverty rate is 48%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Annualized rent equals 42% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.
Running hot is economic stress at 9.2/10. On the high side is housing-court posture at 9/10. 67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Filings are well documented here: 1,380 across 4 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 29.5% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 13.1% in 2006, is well off that peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 4 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 7.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
