Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fairview Heights

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.2/10. It sits 2.0 points below the Allegheny County average of 5.0.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 34 filings here across 7 tracked years. At $1,079 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Oakmont commands. Filings peaked in 2005 at 4.2% of renter households.

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 1.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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