What drives eviction risk in Morningside
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.
The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The filing record is not thin: 266 evictions over 7 years of observation.
Average gross rent is $1,087, 14% below the Pittsburgh average. The worst year on record was 2006, when 9.0% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 7.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Against average income of $85,641, annual rent is just 15%. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
