Recent filings have not receded much: 5.0% in 2006 against a 6.0% peak. At $1,353 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Pittsburgh commands. That places it #41 of 78 neighborhoods in Pittsburgh.
For a like-for-like read, Manchester and Four Mile Run score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $72,175.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
