South End spans 2 census tracts of Steubenville, OH and houses 5,207 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, Moderate tier. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Steubenville rate of 29.6%.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10.
The filing record is not thin: 33 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 4.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 3.0% in 2018 against a 4.6% peak.
Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Steubenville, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Sunset Hills and Braybarton Boulevard Historic District score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $756, close to the Steubenville average.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
