Sedamsville Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 4,648 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.9/10 · range 4.5–5.9

Sedamsville spans 2 census tracts of Cincinnati, OH, population 4,648. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 30.1% citywide, putting Sedamsville 22.6% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 4.5 to 5.9. A 1.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Court records carry 1,132 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 18.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 7.9% in 2018, is well off that peak.

Among the 38 mapped neighborhoods of Cincinnati, it ranks #23 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Sayler Park and West Price Hill. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Against average income of $74,802, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $968, close to the Cincinnati average.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
