Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Highland Park

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 3/10. Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

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 #19,618 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Model confidence here is 45%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point.

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