Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Friendship
This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.
The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.0 points above the Allegheny County average of 5.0. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 168 filings here across 7 tracked years.
At $1,103 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Pittsburgh commands. The worst year on record was 2003, when 3.5% 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 2.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3/10.
Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
41% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
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.
