Downtown Elyria Eviction Risk: Moderate

The heaviest input here is economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Elyria eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Lorain County average of 5.3 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 247 eviction filings here over 11 tracked years, with about 5.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 8.4% of renter households in 2018.

In CDC survey modeling, about 41.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 37.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
