West Wickham Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,825 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

West Wickham maps to a single census tract in Avon, OH, population 4,825. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 41%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Against a Avon baseline of 28.0%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 60.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. SNAP participation is 3.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. 3.9% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Average gross rent is $1,941, 8% above the Avon average of $1,796. Only 16% 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. For a like-for-like read, Summer Hill and Briar Lakes score within a fraction of it.

Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

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.
