Point Breeze maps to a single census tract in Pittsburgh, PA and houses 2,254 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Pittsburgh rate of 29.3%.
The severe-burden share is 38%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Average gross rent is $2,200, 74% above the Pittsburgh average of $1,261. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 71.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
The filing record is not thin: 10 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 2.1% of renter households. That places it #78 of 78 neighborhoods in Pittsburgh.
Judgments average 0.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Summerset and Strip District. Against average income of $190,833, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 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.
