Knowltons Corner is a 8-tract neighborhood of Cincinnati, OH, population 21,954. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Cincinnati rate of 30.1%.
The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.4 to 5.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. At $814 a month, rents sit 19% under what the rest of Cincinnati commands.
SNAP participation is 27.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filings are well documented here: 8,885 across 7 observed tracts. Food insecurity affects 26.9% of adults, 9.1 points above the national rate.
The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 38.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 8.4% in 2018, is well off that peak.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
