Highland Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Pittsburgh

The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.4 points above the Allegheny County average of 5.0. Cost burden runs 35% here against 40.6% across Allegheny County.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.9/10. Court records carry 1,112 eviction filings across 7 observed years. At $1,095 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Pittsburgh commands.

The worst year on record was 2000, when 16.2% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 16.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 81st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

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