Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in East Allegheny

The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. Average gross rent is $2,107, 67% above the Pittsburgh average.

The voucher gap is 64.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. This is renter territory: 90% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. 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 #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Allegheny County average of 5.0 closely. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $108,672.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
