Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 33%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Pittsburgh rate of 29.3%.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8.3/10. 18% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. 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 9/10, 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 $36,318. 62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 7.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
