West Oakland Eviction Risk: Elevated

Set annual rent against average household income of $31,250 and the ratio lands at 55%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Cost burden runs roughly three in four against 29.3% citywide, putting West Oakland 47.5% over its own city. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 62%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. This is a renter market: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The filing record is not thin: 365 evictions logged in this tract. At $1,432 a month, rents sit 14% over what the rest of Pittsburgh commands.

The voucher gap is 11.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The worst year on record was 2000, when filings touched 18.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 8.4% in 2006, is well off that peak.

That places it #2 of 78 neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. For a like-for-like read, South Oakland and Mexican War Streets Historic District score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

One tract means one number: 7.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
