Fairmount Circle spans 3 census tracts of University Heights, OH, population 11,949. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. Against a University Heights baseline of 31.4%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
22% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.6, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. The voucher gap is 21.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. Court records carry 526 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.8/10.
SNAP participation is 6.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.6% of adults, 9.2 points below the national rate.
The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 22.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.4% in 2016, is well off that peak. At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
