Westgate is a 2-tract neighborhood of Ottawa Hills, OH and houses 7,095 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. Against a Ottawa Hills baseline of 17.2%, 32% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The voucher gap is 47.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.7/10. 21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.9, a 1.9-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. On the high side is supply constraint at 8/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.2/10.
Court records carry 1,021 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 15.1% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $1,559, 10% below the Ottawa Hills average of $1,731. The most recent observed rate, 7.4% in 2018, is well off that peak.
Against average income of $135,594, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
