Over-the-Rhine Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate
2 census tracts · pop 2,965 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10
· range 3.7–5.9
Over-the-Rhine Historic District spans 2 census tracts of Cincinnati, OH, population 2,965. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, Moderate tier. At $1,407 a month, rents sit 41% over what the rest of Cincinnati commands.
76% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.7 to 5.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
29% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. The severe-burden share is 17%. 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 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filings are well documented here: 2,767 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 23.6% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 6.1% in 2018, is well off that peak. That places it #27 of 38 neighborhoods in Cincinnati.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
