Martinsville Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 2.4/10. Well under the midpoint, regional political climate reads 2.4/10. It sits 1.1 points below the Clinton County average of 4.1.

Average gross rent is $1,047, 16% above the Martinsville average. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.7/10. Court records carry 202 eviction filings across 12 observed years.

The voucher gap is 12.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The worst year on record was 2008, when 11.2% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 6.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 2.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $75,028, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

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