Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kirkersville
The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 8.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Licking County average of 4.8 and above the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 54 eviction filings here over 12 tracked years, with about 4.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 12.5% of renter households in 2006.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 16th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
