Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Verona Hilltop
The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10. It sits 1.5 points below the Allegheny County average of 5.0.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Cost burden runs 47% here against 40.6% across Allegheny County. The filing record is not thin: 34 evictions over 6 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2004, when 4.7% 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 2.8% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 1.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
