Buckeye Plat Eviction Risk: Moderate , Campbell

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. Average gross rent is $1,065, 46% above the Youngstown average. SNAP participation runs 43.2% against 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 50%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Set annual rent against average income of $27,896 and the ratio lands at 46%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.6/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 23.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Against the Mahoning County average of 4.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. The voucher gap is 20.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 232 evictions over 7 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2016, when 13.0% of renter households were served.

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.
