Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Homestead Park

34% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.6/10. Court records carry 61 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2003, when 4.0% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Pittsburgh. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 2.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 8.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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