Fineview Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 1,268 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.3/10 · range 7.3–7.3

Fineview is a one-tract neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA and houses 1,268 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.3/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Average gross rent is $589, 53% below the Pittsburgh average of $1,261.

The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 26%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against a Pittsburgh baseline of 29.3%, 22% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The filing record is not thin: 1,176 evictions logged in this tract.

The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 60.4% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 56.9% in 2006 against a 60.4% peak.

That places it #2 of 78 neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. For a like-for-like read, Central Oakland and Mexican War Streets Historic District score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
