Dogpatch is a one-tract neighborhood of Struthers, OH and houses 5,345 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Struthers baseline of 27.3%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.
Court records for this tract carry 77 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 3.2% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 3.3% in 2016 against a 3.2% peak.
Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Overlook Plat and Castlo. Against average income of $53,393, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $853, close to the Struthers average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
