Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Regent Square

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.5/10. Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.7 points.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.3/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 55 filings here across 7 tracked years.

Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $1,283 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Edgewood commands.

The worst year on record was 2005, when 10.7% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 4.7% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 27th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $96,935, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
