Plum Eviction Risk: Lower

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. It sits 2.0 points below the Allegheny County average of 5.0. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.

Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Court records carry 217 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

On the softer side, housing-court posture reads 3/10. Average gross rent is $1,029, 13% below the Plum average.

The worst year on record was 2000, when 8.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 6.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $99,750, annual rent is just 12%.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.

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