Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Manchester

Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 7.8/10.

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $1,041 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Pittsburgh commands.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 3.1/10. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Pittsburgh. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 83% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.2/10.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $62,283. 58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
