Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Hills
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.5 points. Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. Set annual rent against average income of $29,236 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
This is renter territory: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Average gross rent is $789, 23% below the Wilkinsburg average. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. 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.
That is riskier than roughly 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.9 points hotter.
