Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. 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 Crestas Terrace

It sits 2.3 points above the Allegheny County average of 5.0. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.9/10. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8/10.

At $544 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of North Braddock commands. 46% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Allegheny County average of 40.6%.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 160 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2002, when 6.4% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 5.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #11,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
