Downtown Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,094 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 4.3–4.3

Downtown maps to a single census tract in Crestline, OH, population 3,094. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Crestline baseline of 35.7%, 59% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.3/10. The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

On the high side is housing-court posture at 8/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. Average gross rent is $857, 17% above the Crestline average of $735.

Court records for this tract carry 134 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 7.5% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 5.6% in 2018 against a 7.5% peak. At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $45,880.

One tract means one number: 4.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
