Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Shore
Average gross rent is $2,287, 81% above the Pittsburgh average. The voucher gap is 78.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against Allegheny County at 40.6%, 53% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.3/10.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 9 filings here across 4 tracked years. Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.
Filings peaked in 2003 at 12.8% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 7.4% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 76% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1/10.
