Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sylvania
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.9/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10. It sits 1.2 points below the Lucas County average of 4.2.
On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.5/10. The voucher gap is 16.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Food insecurity runs 8.4% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 6.1% against 15.2% nationally. At $1,232 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of Sylvania commands.
37% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Lucas County average of 41.3%. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
