Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Duquesne Place
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

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: 295 evictions over 7 years of observation.
At $627 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Duquesne commands. Filings peaked in 2005 at 5.5% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Pittsburgh.
