ONYX Eviction Risk: Moderate

5 census tracts · pop 6,090 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 4.2–5.4

ONYX takes in 5 census tracts of Toledo, OH and houses 6,090 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. Against a Toledo baseline of 28.4%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

25.8% 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. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 30.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $31,892 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.2 to 5.4, a 1.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running hot is economic stress at 7.3/10.

Filings are well documented here: 2,555 across 5 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 18.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 10.0% in 2018, is well off that peak.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 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.
