Lone Star is a one-tract neighborhood of Mentor, OH, population 5,961. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 43%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
69% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Mentor rate of 26.6%. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. The filing record is not thin: 182 evictions logged in this tract.
SNAP participation is 6.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.5% of adults, 9.3 points below the national rate.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 8.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.4% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #3 of 6 neighborhoods in Mentor.
Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Harborview and Salida score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
