Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Upper Verona
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Court records carry 189 eviction filings across 7 observed years. At $798 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Verona commands.
Filings peaked in 2003 at 6.3% 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 4.3% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 40% of renters.
It tracks the Allegheny County average of 5.0 closely.
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.
