Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brookline
Running cool, economic stress reads 2.4/10. It sits 1.0 points above the Allegheny County average of 5.0. The filing record is not thin: 170 evictions over 7 years of observation.
The severe-burden share is 8%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The worst year on record was 2004, when 10.8% of renter households were served. At $1,151 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Pittsburgh commands.
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 6.5% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.3/10. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.
