Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in St. Clair

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.3/10. Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.8 points. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. At $896 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Baldwin commands. The filing record is not thin: 41 evictions over 7 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2002 at 6.2% of renter households. 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 4.1% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 2.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $81,875, annual rent is just 13%.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
