Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Chatham Village
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. 45% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Allegheny County average of 40.6%.
The filing record is not thin: 76 evictions over 7 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2005, when 4.0% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 2.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Against average income of $81,618, annual rent is just 17%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
