Pataskala Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. Against Licking County at 37.9%, 31% of renters here are cost-burdened. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

Against the Licking County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 10% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
