Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bloomfield

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

Court records carry 139 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2002, when 6.1% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 4.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #19,618 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 38% of renters. Average gross rent is $1,208, close to the Pittsburgh average.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
