Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Willoughby

The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 7.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Willoughby, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Lake County average of 4.8 and above the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 6.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 4.9% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 293 eviction filings here over 14 tracked years, with about 2.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 4.4% of renter households in 2015.
