Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 9/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.
The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against Allegheny County at 40.6%, 47% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 196 evictions over 7 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2002, when 8.8% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 6.8% 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 5.8/10 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.
