What drives eviction risk in Strip District
The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. At $2,225 a month, rents run 76% over what the rest of Pittsburgh commands.
The voucher gap is 73.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. 90% 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.
Running cool, economic stress reads 1.8/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.
Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 51 filings here across 7 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2000 at 14.1% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 8.7% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
