Squirrel Hill North Eviction Risk: Moderate , Pittsburgh

74% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Allegheny County average of 40.6%. The voucher gap is 38.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

At $1,774 a month, rents run 41% over what the rest of Pittsburgh commands. What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 8.9/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 33 evictions over 7 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2002, when 3.4% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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 2.4% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $169,954, annual rent is just 13%.

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