Crawford-Roberts Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 3,044 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.3/10 · range 7.3–7.3

Crawford-Roberts maps to a single census tract in Pittsburgh, PA and houses 3,044 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.3/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Pittsburgh rate of 29.3%.

79% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The poverty rate is 34%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The dominant input is economic stress at 8.5/10. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Court records for this tract carry 512 eviction filings.

The worst year on record was 2000, when filings touched 9.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.2% in 2006 against a 9.5% peak.

Among the 78 mapped neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,259, close to the Pittsburgh average. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $47,500.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
