Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Overbrook
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. It sits 1.5 points below the Allegheny County average of 5.0.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.4/10.
46% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Allegheny County average of 40.6%. The filing record is not thin: 6 evictions over 4 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2002, when 4.8% of renter households were served. 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 3.7% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 4% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
