Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Blackridge
What moves this score most is supply constraint at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Churchill, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores well below the Allegheny County average of 5.6 and below the Pennsylvania statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
HOLC surveyors mapped this tract in the 1930s with a dominant grade of B ("Still Desirable"), above the redlined D tier. The grading still shaped decades of lending and development in the surrounding area.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 15 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 4.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 7.4% of renter households in 2001.
For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
