Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wellsville
The heaviest input here is housing court bias at 8.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Wellsville, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores well above the Columbiana County average of 4.4 and above the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 159 eviction filings here over 10 tracked years, with about 2.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.9% of renter households in 2002.
In CDC survey modeling, about 17.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 14.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
