Sayler Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 2,902 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5/10 · range 4–5.9

Sayler Park spans 2 census tracts of Cincinnati, OH, population 2,902. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.

39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Cincinnati rate of 30.1%. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4 to 5.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

At $828 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Cincinnati commands. Court records carry 810 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 25.6% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 6.7% in 2018, is well off that peak. That places it #21 of 38 neighborhoods in Cincinnati. For a like-for-like read, Sedamsville and Peebles Corner score within a fraction of it.

Against average income of $70,820, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 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.
