What drives eviction risk in Point Breeze
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. At $2,200 a month, rents run 74% over what the rest of Pittsburgh commands. The voucher gap is 71.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Allegheny County average of 40.6%. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.4/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 10 filings here across 6 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2006 at 2.1% of renter households.
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 1.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
