Incline District Eviction Risk: Moderate

5 census tracts · pop 17,235 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.6/10 · range 5.1–5.9

Incline District spans 5 census tracts of Cincinnati, OH, population 17,235. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. SNAP participation is 32.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 19.8% 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.

18% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. At $766 a month, rents sit 23% under what the rest of Cincinnati commands. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

Against a Cincinnati baseline of 30.1%, 35% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Court records carry 9,487 eviction filings across its 5 observed tracts.

On the high side is economic stress at 7.3/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 24.3% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 14.8% in 2018 against a 24.3% peak. That places it #14 of 38 neighborhoods in Cincinnati.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
