Glen Hazel Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 2,966 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.3/10 · range 7.3–7.3

Glen Hazel is a one-tract neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA and houses 2,966 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 40%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Pittsburgh rate of 29.3%. Average gross rent is $594, 53% below the Pittsburgh average of $1,261.

The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The filing record is not thin: 981 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 20.3% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 16.4% in 2006 against a 20.3% 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. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $32,250. 51% 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.
