Park Place Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 5,635 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.5/10 · range 4.7–7.5

Park Place takes in 3 census tracts of Pittsburgh, PA, population 5,635. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 4.7 to 7.5. A 2.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

Cost burden runs 37% against 29.3% citywide, putting Park Place 7.7% over its own city. 19% 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. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.

The filing record is not thin: 926 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 19.4% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 20.2% in 2006 against a 19.4% peak. Average gross rent is $1,174, 7% below the Pittsburgh average of $1,261. Among the 78 mapped neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, it ranks #64 by risk, the lower third.

Against average income of $96,946, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
