Highland Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , Pittsburgh

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.9/10. 49% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Allegheny County average of 40.6%. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.

Court records carry 120 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2002, when 13.1% 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 9.0% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.1/10. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $130,444, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Allegheny County average of 5.0 closely. Average gross rent is $1,273, close to the Pittsburgh average.

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