Sheraden Eviction Risk: Elevated , Pittsburgh

31% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 2.3 points above the Allegheny County average of 5.0. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 7.8/10.

The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 491 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Filings peaked in 2002 at 19.3% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 14.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9/10, 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. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,349, close to the Pittsburgh average.

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.
