Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Overbrook

Against Allegheny County at 40.6%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.2/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.

The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 434 filings here across 7 tracked years.

Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. Filings peaked in 2006 at 7.3% 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 6.8% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
