Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Whitehall
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.7 points.
Set annual rent against average income of $33,902 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is renter territory: 80% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Food insecurity runs 33.9% against 17.8% nationally. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Housing insecurity runs 25.1% against 14.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 1,364 evictions over 13 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2005 at 23.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 14.2% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
