Squirrel Hill South Eviction Risk: Moderate , Pittsburgh

15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, economic stress reads 3/10. It sits 0.9 points above the Allegheny County average of 5.0.

The filing record is not thin: 131 evictions over 7 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,388, 10% above the Pittsburgh average. Filings peaked in 2006 at 2.9% of renter households.

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 2.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

38% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $88,068.

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