What drives eviction risk in Perry Hilltop
64% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Allegheny County average of 40.6%. Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points.
The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The dominant input is economic stress at 8.2/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 455 evictions over 7 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2003, when 16.2% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 12.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.8/10.
Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.7 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
