About eviction risk in Huron, OH

Huron, OH has an eviction risk score of 5.0 out of 10, placing it in the moderate-risk tier for landlords operating in Erie County and the state of Ohio. The score combines local political climate, court disposition patterns, cost-of-eviction estimates, tenant organizing strength, and the likelihood of new tenant-protective legislation in the next legislative cycle.

Census ACS 2023 5-year estimates show median gross rent as a percentage of household income is 19.9% — a core driver of eviction filings, because households above 30% of income on rent are statistically more likely to miss a payment after any income shock. Median gross rent in Huron is $1,000/month. About 22.1% of occupied units here are renter-occupied.

Economic stress: poverty rate 8.5%, unemployment 3.8%. Higher values correlate with higher eviction filing rates and longer court timelines.

Political climate: In 2020, Erie County voted Republican by 11.6 points — classified as moderately landlord-leaning for purposes of rent-control or just-cause expansion risk.

At 5.0/10, Huron is an elevated-risk environment. Tenant protections are stronger than the national median. Use proactive screening, document notices in writing, and understand your specific just-cause and rent-cap exposure before raising rent or terminating a tenancy.
