What drives eviction risk in Beltzhoover
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 7.8/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Allegheny County average of 5.0.
On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.9/10. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
The filing record is not thin: 197 evictions over 7 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,410, 12% above the Pittsburgh average. Filings peaked in 2004 at 8.6% of renter households.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 5.6% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 79th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 2.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
