Highland Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Austintown, OH, population 5,718. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $1,004, 27% above the Austintown average of $788.
Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. Cost burden runs 35% against 28.8% citywide, putting Highland Park 6.6% over its own city.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 423 evictions logged in this tract. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10.
The voucher gap is 13.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 11.2% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 6.1% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #5 of 7 neighborhoods in Austintown. At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Forest Green and Victory Hills score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $55,597.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
