Garfield Eviction Risk: Elevated , Pittsburgh

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 7.8/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Cost burden runs 36% here against 40.6% across Allegheny County. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.7 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,174, close to the Pittsburgh average.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $64,872. 59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
