McKeesport Eviction Risk: Elevated

Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 9/10.

Average gross rent is $1,099, 30% above the McKeesport average. The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.7/10.

Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 105 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2005 at 2.8% of renter households.

In a typical year about 3.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #11,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.7 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
