East Allegheny takes in 2 census tracts of Pittsburgh, PA, population 2,190. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.1/10, in the Elevated tier. 66% 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.
Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 5.3 to 7.3. A 2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Average gross rent is $939, 26% below the Pittsburgh average of $1,261. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.
Against a Pittsburgh baseline of 29.3%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 16%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Among the 78 mapped neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, it ranks #32 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Perry South and Bellefield score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $58,262, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.1 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.
