Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. 16% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
The filing record is not thin: 721 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 6.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.7% of adults, 9.1 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 13.7% of renter households.
At $1,132 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Mentor commands. The most recent observed rate, 3.3% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 6 neighborhoods in Mentor.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $66,750.
44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
