Westview is a one-tract neighborhood of Austintown, OH, population 3,037. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs about half against 28.8% citywide, putting Westview 18.5% over its own city.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 9/10. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 22% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. 17.3% 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.
Food insecurity affects 30.1% of adults, 12.3 points above the national rate. The filing record is not thin: 197 evictions logged in this tract.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 6.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.4% in 2016 against a 6.5% peak.
That places it #1 of 7 neighborhoods in Austintown. Average gross rent runs $803, close to the Austintown average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $36,346.
One tract means one number: 5.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
