Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Damascus
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.2/10. On the softer side, housing-court posture reads 2.1/10.
It sits 1.0 points below the Columbiana County average of 4.0. The filing record is not thin: 32 evictions over 10 years of observation. Average gross rent is $995, 15% above the Damascus average.
Food insecurity runs 10.1% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.6% against 15.2% nationally.
The voucher gap is 12.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Filings peaked in 2016 at 3.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 11% 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.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
