Mentor Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.9/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.3/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

Average gross rent is $1,049, 15% below the Mentor average. Food insecurity runs 9.3% against 17.8% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 133 filings here across 14 tracked years.

SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.7 points below the Lake County average of 3.8. The worst year on record was 2011, when 18.4% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 5.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 9% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $93,298, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
