Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brookline
Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10.
48% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Allegheny County average of 40.6%. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points.
Court records carry 157 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Filings peaked in 2006 at 7.0% of renter households. 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 4.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 38th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.8/10. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $85,234, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
