Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bloomfield
Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. 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.
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 7.8/10. At $1,583 a month, rents run 26% over what the rest of Pittsburgh commands. The voucher gap is 23.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 7.4/10. Against Allegheny County at 40.6%, 45% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 189 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2001, when 7.3% 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 4.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #11,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.8/10. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.7 points hotter.
