Strip District Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 1,471 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.9/10 · range 4.9–4.9

Strip District is a one-tract neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA, population 1,471. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, Moderate tier. At $2,225 a month, rents sit 76% over what the rest of Pittsburgh commands.

What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 73.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

This is a renter market: 90% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 20% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, under the Pittsburgh rate of 29.3%.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 51 evictions logged in this tract. The severe-burden share is 10%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The worst year on record was 2000, when filings touched 14.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.0% in 2006, is well off that peak. That places it #76 of 78 neighborhoods in Pittsburgh.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $114,109.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
