Ben Avon Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.8/10. It sits 1.7 points below the Allegheny County average of 5.0. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.

The filing record is not thin: 61 evictions over 7 years of observation. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 6.9/10. The worst year on record was 2001, when 5.7% 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 3.9% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 27th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $100,353, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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.
