Pendleton takes in 2 census tracts of Cincinnati, OH, population 2,777. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $1,543, 54% above the Cincinnati average of $1,001.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.2 to 5.3, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. This is a renter market: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
The voucher gap is 19.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 33% of renter households. Filings are well documented here: 1,063 across 2 observed tracts.
11% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7/10.
Food insecurity affects 8.3% of adults, 9.5 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 23.6% of renter households. 4.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
The most recent observed rate, 4.7% in 2018, is well off that peak. Among the 38 mapped neighborhoods of Cincinnati, it ranks #31 by risk, the lower third.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
