North Hill spans 2 census tracts of Springfield, OH and houses 4,930 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10.
This is a renter market: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. Filings are well documented here: 546 across 2 observed tracts.
15.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $719 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Springfield commands.
Food insecurity affects 26.9% of adults, 9.1 points above the national rate. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 13.7% of renter households.
Against a Springfield baseline of 28.0%, around a third of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.6% in 2018 against a 13.7% peak.
With little internal variation, 5.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
