Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Friendship
This is renter territory: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points.
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 7.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 224 filings here across 7 tracked years. Average gross rent is $1,376, 9% above the Pittsburgh average.
The worst year on record was 2002, when 3.1% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 2.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 83rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.8/10.
Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
