Beltzhoover takes in 2 census tracts of Pittsburgh, PA and houses 4,950 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.8/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Pittsburgh rate of 29.3%.
The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.1 to 7.3, a 1.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Court records carry 453 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 11.4% of renter households. At $1,151 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Pittsburgh commands.
Recent filings have not receded much: 8.4% in 2006 against a 11.4% peak. Among the 78 mapped neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, it ranks #41 by risk, the middle third. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $54,559.
44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
