Lincoln Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Steubenville, OH, population 1,122. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 41%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,000, 29% above the Steubenville average of $775.
28% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Court records for this tract carry 18 eviction filings. 15.4% 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.
Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.4/10. Food insecurity affects 26.9% of adults, 9.1 points above the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 6.5% of renter households.
The voucher gap is 11.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.5% in 2018 against a 6.5% peak. That places it #1 of 7 neighborhoods in Steubenville.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
