Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Uptown Cincinnati

97% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.3/10.

Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $32,790, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the Hamilton County average of 4.4. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2/10. At $902 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Cincinnati commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 77th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 6.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter.
