The worst year on record was 2000, when 3.0% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 2.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
