Analysis

What drives eviction risk in McKees Rocks Bottoms

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 7.8/10. 34% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Allegheny County average of 40.6%. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 3.1/10. Court records carry 322 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2005 at 9.3% of renter households. 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 6.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. It tracks the Allegheny County average of 5.0 closely. Average gross rent runs $1,036 a month.

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