Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westerville

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 7.4/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Westerville eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Delaware County average of 4.5 and in line with the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 49 eviction filings here over 9 tracked years, with about 2.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.8% of renter households in 2012.

In CDC survey modeling, about 5.4% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 4.0% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
