Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sewickley Heights
The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at 7.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Allegheny County average of 5.6 and below the Pennsylvania statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
HOLC surveyors mapped this tract in the 1930s with a dominant grade of B ("Still Desirable"), above the redlined D tier. The grading still shaped decades of lending and development in the surrounding area.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 1.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 1.3% of renter households in 2002.
