Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Perry North

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 7.8/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.7/10.

The filing record is not thin: 43 evictions over 6 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2004 at 6.2% of renter households.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Pittsburgh. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 5.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

It tracks the Allegheny County average of 5.0 closely. Average gross rent runs $1,332 a month.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $61,571.

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.
