Uptown Cincinnati spans 4 census tracts of Cincinnati, OH, population 12,234. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. around two-thirds of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Cincinnati rate of 30.1%.
The severe-burden share is 36%. 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 48%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.6/10. 88% 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. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Court records carry 1,293 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 24.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 27.8% of adults, 10.0 points above the national rate. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 10.6% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.9% in 2018, is well off that peak.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
