Sunset Hills Eviction Risk: Lower , Castle Shannon

Average gross rent is $1,449, 29% above the Castle Shannon average. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 2.1/10. Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 30 evictions over 7 years of observation. The voucher gap is 13.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Filings peaked in 2004 at 4.8% 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 2.9% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 1.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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