Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Glenwood

Against Allegheny County at 40.6%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened. It sits 2.3 points above the Allegheny County average of 5.0. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 8.6/10.

The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.

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. Nationally it ranks #11,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 4.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.7 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,252, close to the Pittsburgh average. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $47,404.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
