Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Rosslyn Heights
Against Allegheny County at 40.6%, 29% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.
10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Court records carry 57 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2006 at 4.4% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 2.9% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #42,813 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3/10. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $84,571, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
