Knowltons Corner Eviction Risk: Moderate , Cincinnati

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. Average gross rent is $533, 47% below the Cincinnati average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 53.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Food insecurity runs 75.3% against 17.8% nationally. Annualized rent equals 51% of average household income of $12,610, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The poverty rate is 88%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 95% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the Hamilton County average of 4.4. The filing record is not thin: 2,301 evictions over 16 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2005 at 38.2% of renter households.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
