Worthingway Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,988 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Worthingway is a one-tract neighborhood of Worthington, OH, population 3,988. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Worthington baseline of 28.8%, roughly two in three of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10.

Disability prevalence reaches 17.8% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Court records for this tract carry 13 eviction filings.

2.9% 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. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 11.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.5% in 2015, is well off that peak.

That places it #1 of 5 neighborhoods in Worthington. Only 12% 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.

Rent takes 10% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 0%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,214, close to the Worthington average.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
