What drives eviction risk in New Colony
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 2/10. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Cost burden runs around a third here against 40.6% across Allegheny County. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.
It sits 0.9 points below the Allegheny County average of 5.0. The filing record is not thin: 97 evictions over 7 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2003 at 24.2% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 15.3% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 12% 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 3.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
