Riverview Eviction Risk: Elevated , McKeesport

The poverty rate is 68%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. This is renter territory: 87% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Cost burden runs 54% here against 40.6% across Allegheny County. It sits 2.3 points above the Allegheny County average of 5.0.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.2/10. Set annual rent against average income of $18,210 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

At $572 a month, rents run 33% under what the rest of McKeesport commands. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 9/10. Court records carry 607 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2001, when 29.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 27.2% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #11,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
