Rankin Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 4,175 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.2–5.4

Rankin Historic District takes in 2 census tracts of Ironton, OH and houses 4,175 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Ironton rate of 30.1%.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The poverty rate is 28%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.2 to 5.4, a 1.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.2/10. Average gross rent runs $769, close to the Ironton average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $43,734.

51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
