Marshall Shadeland takes in 2 census tracts of Pittsburgh, PA and houses 4,365 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. around two-thirds of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Pittsburgh rate of 29.3%.
29% 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. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 5.7 to 7.3. A 1.6-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 7.1/10. At $1,087 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Pittsburgh commands.
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.
50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 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.
