Westwood Town Center Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate

7 census tracts · pop 29,944 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.3/10 · range 4.3–5.9

Westwood Town Center Historic District takes in 7 census tracts of Cincinnati, OH, population 29,944. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Cincinnati baseline of 30.1%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.9/10.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.3 to 5.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Filings are well documented here: 13,781 across 7 observed tracts. 14.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Average gross rent is $879, 12% below the Cincinnati average of $1,001. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 32.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 9.1% in 2018, is well off that peak.

Among the 38 mapped neighborhoods of Cincinnati, it ranks #15 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Gilbert-Sinton Historic District and Bond Hill score within a fraction of it.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
