Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Troy Hill
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. It sits 1.4 points below the Allegheny County average of 5.0.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. Court records carry 33 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2002, when 5.3% of renter households were served. 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 3.9% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #56,048 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
