Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Liberty
53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Allegheny County average of 40.6%. The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.9 points.
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 7.8/10. Court records carry 1,425 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2000, when 18.2% of renter households were served.
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. In a typical year about 11.5% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 84th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.3 points hotter.
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.
