Highland Heights takes in 3 census tracts of Toledo, OH, population 7,017. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Toledo rate of 28.4%.
Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,110, 23% above the Toledo average of $901. The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
14.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That places it #26 of 45 neighborhoods in Toledo. The closest comparables inside the same city are Homeville and North Towne.
Its 3 tracts score within 0.7 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $50,268. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 4.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
