Summerset is a one-tract neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA and houses 4,997 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. Against a Pittsburgh baseline of 29.3%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.9/10. 20% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 178 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 2.8% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,157, 8% below the Pittsburgh average of $1,261. That places it #77 of 78 neighborhoods in Pittsburgh.
Judgments average 1.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Strip District and Lincoln Place score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
