Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bellefield
The severe-burden share is 34%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.7/10. Set annual rent against average income of $30,689 and the ratio lands at 49%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This is renter territory: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. It sits 2.3 points above the Allegheny County average of 5.0.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 362 filings here across 7 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2001 at 3.7% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 3.0% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 6.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
