Heather Ridge maps to a single census tract in Powell, OH and houses 7,708 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Powell baseline of 27.1%, 71% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 77.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10. Average gross rent is $2,563, 17% above the Powell average of $2,194.
Disability prevalence reaches 18.0% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. 4.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $146,662.
One tract means one number: 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.
