Analysis
What drives eviction risk in New Colony
The score leans hardest on housing court bias at 5.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Dravosburg, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Allegheny County average of 5.6 and in line with the Pennsylvania statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 27th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 97 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 15.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 24.2% of renter households in 2003.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
