Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Summerset

20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.

Court records carry 178 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Filings peaked in 2006 at 2.8% of renter households.

Average gross rent is $1,157, 8% below the Pittsburgh average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 2.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $111,637, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. 43% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
