Lincoln Place takes in 2 census tracts of Pittsburgh, PA, population 6,069. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.7 to 6.2. A 2.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Average gross rent is $894, 29% below the Pittsburgh average of $1,261. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2/10. Cost burden runs 23% against 29.3% citywide, putting Lincoln Place 6.8% under its own city.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.3/10. 14% 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 carry 146 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 9.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.0% in 2006, is well off that peak.
Among the 78 mapped neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, it ranks #76 by risk, the lower third. At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Against average income of $75,240, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
