Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Whitehall
Cost burden runs 60% here against 40.6% across Allegheny County. Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.8 points.
The main counterweight is economic stress at 2.1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 9 filings here across 6 tracked years.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 6.9/10. The worst year on record was 2004, when 2.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 2.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 6% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4/10.
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.
