Westerville Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. Food insecurity runs 5.4% against 17.8% nationally.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 8 filings here across 6 tracked years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Filings peaked in 2012 at 5.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 4.9% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 27th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 3% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.1/10. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
