Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ambridge
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
It sits 1.8 points above the Beaver County average of 4.2. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2/10.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Court records carry 274 eviction filings across 4 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2006, when 11.5% of renter households were served. 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 8.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.2/10.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
