Brighton Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated , Pittsburgh

Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 7.8/10.

At $987 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Pittsburgh commands. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.7/10.

Court records carry 190 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2006, when 7.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Pittsburgh. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 6.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.7 points hotter.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 37% of renters. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $60,455.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
