Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10.
The filing record is not thin: 316 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 18.5% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 19.3% in 2016 against a 18.5% peak. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Youngstown, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Flint Hill and Kensington score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
