Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lower Lawrenceville
At $1,669 a month, rents run 32% over what the rest of Pittsburgh commands. The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 8/10. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Court records carry 505 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2004 at 11.7% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 9.3% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3/10. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
