Terrace Village Eviction Risk: Elevated , Pittsburgh

At $634 a month, rents run 50% under what the rest of Pittsburgh commands. This is renter territory: 94% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10.

It sits 2.3 points above the Allegheny County average of 5.0. Set annual rent against average income of $19,109 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.4/10.

20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Court records carry 336 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2000 at 14.1% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 8.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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