West Price Hill is a 4-tract suburb of Cincinnati, OH and houses 14,080 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Cincinnati rate of 30.1%.
Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.1 to 5.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.6/10.
Court records carry 2,886 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 12.4% of renter households.
That places it #23 of 38 neighborhoods in Cincinnati. Judgments average 3.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Mount Washington and Mount Airy.
Against average income of $60,934, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $981, close to the Cincinnati average. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 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.
