What drives eviction risk in Overbrook
The main counterweight is supply constraint at 2/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.
Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.8/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
The filing record is not thin: 298 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2001 at 6.3% of renter households.
This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 5.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.1/10. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $65,759, 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.
