Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Perry North
Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 7.8/10.
Court records carry 207 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Average gross rent is $1,117, 11% below the Pittsburgh average. The worst year on record was 2005, when 18.4% of renter households were served.
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 12.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 83% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.3/10. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters.
Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $72,200.
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.
