Hamnett Place takes in 3 census tracts of Wilkinsburg, PA, population 6,745. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.4/10, in the Elevated tier. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 7.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Wilkinsburg rate of 31.0%. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.
22% 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. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Filings are well documented here: 842 across 2 observed tracts.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.
The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 13.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 12.6% in 2006 against a 13.9% peak. Against average income of $63,059, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
Average gross rent runs $1,012, close to the Wilkinsburg average.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.4 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.
