Swisshelm Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , Swissvale

27% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Allegheny County average of 40.6%. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.2/10. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Court records carry 131 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2005, when 7.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 4.8% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Allegheny County average of 5.0 closely. Average gross rent is $1,127, close to the Swissvale average.

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.
