New Homestead is a 2-tract neighborhood of Munhall, PA and houses 7,147 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.5/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.7 to 5.2, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. 14% 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. Filings are well documented here: 406 across 2 observed tracts.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. At $687 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Munhall commands.
Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 14.1% of renter households. On the softer side is economic stress, at 3/10.
Cost burden runs 30% against 26.9% citywide, putting New Homestead 3.0% over its own city. The most recent observed rate, 8.3% in 2006, is well off that peak.
At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
