It sits 2.0 points below the Allegheny County average of 5.0. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. 11% 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 47 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Running cool, housing-court posture reads 3/10. Filings peaked in 2005 at 10.8% of renter households.

In a typical year about 5.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 20% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.1/10.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $93,346, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
