· range 3–5.4
Pleasant Ridge takes in 6 census tracts of Cincinnati, OH and houses 22,527 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, Moderate tier. The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.4, a 2.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Cost burden runs 39% against 30.1% citywide, putting Pleasant Ridge 8.8% over its own city. 20% 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.
Average gross rent is $747, 25% below the Cincinnati average of $1,001. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Filings are well documented here: 6,142 across 6 observed tracts.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.9/10. Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 39.2% of renter households. Among the 38 mapped neighborhoods of Cincinnati, it ranks #28 by risk, the lower third.
Judgments average 3.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Madison-Stewart Historic District and Village Historic District. Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
