Bloomfield takes in 4 census tracts of Pittsburgh, PA and houses 7,024 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.5/10, Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 43% against 29.3% citywide, putting Bloomfield 13.3% over its own city.
This is a renter market: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.9 to 7.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Court records carry 752 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 8.5% of renter households.
That places it #45 of 78 neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. Judgments average 3.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Average gross rent runs $1,255, close to the Pittsburgh average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $65,814.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
