South Shore is a one-tract neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA and houses 47 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Pittsburgh baseline of 29.3%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
At $2,287 a month, rents sit 81% over what the rest of Pittsburgh commands. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 78.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. 100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 9 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 12.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.8% in 2006, is well off that peak.
That places it #59 of 78 neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $91,250.
One tract means one number: 5.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
