Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Carrick

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $800 a month, rents run 37% under what the rest of Pittsburgh commands. It sits 2.2 points above the Allegheny County average of 5.0.

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Court records carry 160 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2004, when 9.6% 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 7.8% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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