Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Spring Hill-City View
At $519 a month, rents run 59% under what the rest of Pittsburgh commands. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. It sits 2.3 points above the Allegheny County average of 5.0.
The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. about half of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Allegheny County average of 40.6%.
On the high side, economic stress reads 7.9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 525 evictions over 7 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2002 at 20.3% 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 14.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
