Census ACS 2023 5-year estimates show median gross rent as a percentage of household income is 20.8% — a core driver of eviction filings, because households above 30% of income on rent are statistically more likely to miss a payment after any income shock. Median gross rent in Casnovia is $1,000/month. About 24.4% of occupied units here are renter-occupied.

Economic stress: poverty rate 10.8%, unemployment 4.3%. Higher values correlate with higher eviction filing rates and longer court timelines.
