Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Banksville

The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.

Against Allegheny County at 40.6%, roughly one in three of renters here are cost-burdened. The filing record is not thin: 178 evictions over 7 years of observation. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.9/10.

The worst year on record was 2005, when 5.9% 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 4.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 1.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $75,137, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing 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.
