Salida is a one-tract neighborhood of Mentor, OH, population 5,144. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The voucher gap is 34.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,622, 31% above the Mentor average of $1,239.
Against a Mentor baseline of 26.6%, 18% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Running hot is supply constraint at 8.4/10.
The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 7.9% of adults, 9.9 points below the national rate. That places it #3 of 6 neighborhoods in Mentor. Only 14% 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.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Harborview and Lone Star. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
