Belle Vista maps to a single census tract in Youngstown, OH and houses 2,622 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.9/10, Moderate tier. 40% 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.
59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Youngstown rate of 34.3%. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 44%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
21.2% 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. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.6/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 300 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 9.7% of renter households. That places it #1 of 26 neighborhoods in Youngstown.
Judgments average 4.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Cottage Grove and Kensington score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.9/10 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.
