Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westgate Park

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 175 evictions over 7 years of observation.

8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $689 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Austintown commands.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 9.4% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Youngstown. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 5.3% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 4.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $49,966, annual rent is just 17%.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
