Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Beechview

The clearest offset is economic stress at 2/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 0.9 points above the Allegheny County average of 5.0. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 428 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2006, when 11.2% 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 9.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #19,618 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 3.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,251, close to the Pittsburgh average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $72,901.

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