The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. Court records carry 1,489 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 11.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 7.0% in 2018 against a 11.6% peak. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Lorain, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
