McKeesport Eviction Risk: Elevated

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points.

Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 9/10. The poverty rate is 35%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

65% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,787 filings here across 7 tracked years. At $763 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of McKeesport commands.

The worst year on record was 2005, when 55.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 44.0% of renter households face a filing.
