East End Eviction Risk: Lower

5 census tracts · pop 12,283 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3–5.5

East End takes in 5 census tracts of Dayton, KY, population 12,283. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.7/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.6/10.

Cost burden runs 37% against 32.2% citywide, putting East End 4.6% over its own city. Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,241, 9% above the Dayton average of $1,137.

At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $85,279, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
