Brewery District Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 4,215 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.9/10 · range 5.9–5.9

Brewery District is a 2-tract neighborhood of Cincinnati, OH, population 4,215. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.9/10, Moderate tier. Against a Cincinnati baseline of 30.1%, 58% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Severe burden reaches 36%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 50%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

The dominant input is economic stress at 9.6/10. This is a renter market: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Filings are well documented here: 2,662 across 2 observed tracts.

14.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $1,123 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of Cincinnati commands. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 31.6% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 5.3% in 2018, is well off that peak. Among the 38 mapped neighborhoods of Cincinnati, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Mount Auburn Historic District and Bethlehem. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

With little internal variation, 5.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
