Average gross rent is $870, 31% below the Pittsburgh average of $1,261. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.
Court records carry 786 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 12.6% of renter households. That places it #34 of 78 neighborhoods in Pittsburgh.
Judgments average 5.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
