Homestead Park is a 3-tract neighborhood of Munhall, PA and houses 8,243 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Munhall rate of 26.9%.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.5 to 7.3, a 2.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10.
21% 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. At $951 a month, rents sit 22% over what the rest of Munhall commands. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.4/10.
Court records carry 969 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 10.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.8% in 2006, is well off that peak.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $52,584.
57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
