Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Oakwood

Against Allegheny County at 40.6%, 64% of renters here are cost-burdened. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 2.4/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 274 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2000, when 6.5% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 5.0% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6/10.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. It tracks the Allegheny County average of 5.0 closely. Average gross rent is $989, close to the Crafton average.

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.
