Glenwood is a 3-tract neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA, population 6,888. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 29.3% citywide, putting Glenwood 15.1% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 38%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3.8 to 7.3. A 3.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The filing record is not thin: 47 evictions logged in this tract.
The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 4.0% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.2% in 2006, is well off that peak. At $1,359 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Pittsburgh commands. Among the 78 mapped neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, it ranks #72 by risk, the lower third.
Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $68,931.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
