Bloomfield Eviction Risk: Elevated , Pittsburgh

Against Allegheny County at 40.6%, 50% of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 7.8/10. Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 214 evictions over 7 years of observation. At $1,126 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Pittsburgh commands.

Filings peaked in 2006 at 4.5% of renter households. 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 4.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.0 points hotter.

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