Overbrook Eviction Risk: Lower , Brentwood

Average gross rent is $1,383, 51% above the Whitehall average. 34% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.2/10. Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 22 filings here across 7 tracked years. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 6.9/10.

The worst year on record was 2002, when 1.0% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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 0.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 29th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 5.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
