Homewood is a one-tract neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA, population 1,884. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
30% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. At $1,520 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of Pittsburgh commands.
The voucher gap is 18.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. 13% 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. Court records for this tract carry 427 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 13.4% of renter households. Among the 78 mapped neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, it ranks #73 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 4.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Against average income of $92,556, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
