Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Homeville
The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.7/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.2/10. The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 163 filings here across 7 tracked years.
At $855 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of West Mifflin commands. Filings peaked in 2003 at 7.7% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 5.2% 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 6.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
