Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hamnett Place
It sits 2.5 points above the Allegheny County average of 5.0. This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.
Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.
Average gross rent is $841, 18% below the Wilkinsburg average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 88th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 8.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.9 points hotter.
