East Liberty Eviction Risk: Moderate , Pittsburgh

At $2,123 a month, rents run 68% over what the rest of Pittsburgh commands. The voucher gap is 65.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

80% 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. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10.

Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Court records carry 266 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2000 at 6.4% of renter households. 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 4.8% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
