Middle Hill Eviction Risk: Elevated

The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 52%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Pittsburgh rate of 29.3%. The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10. 75% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Court records for this tract carry 478 eviction filings.

The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 13.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 13.4% in 2006 against a 13.9% peak. Among the 78 mapped neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $29,353.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
