Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Allegheny Center
Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 7.8/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 386 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Allegheny County average of 40.6%. The worst year on record was 2004, when 16.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 8.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #12,919 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.6/10. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
