Homeville is a 2-tract neighborhood of West Mifflin, PA and houses 5,456 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 26% of renter households.
The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.8 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
15% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Court records carry 201 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Average gross rent is $874, 12% above the West Mifflin average of $780.
Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 7.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.5% in 2006, is well off that peak.
At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
