Elmwood Place Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 5,007 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10 · range 3.4–5

Elmwood Place is a 2-tract neighborhood of Youngstown, OH and houses 5,007 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. 18% 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.

Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.4 to 5. A 1.6-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Court records for this tract carry 95 eviction filings.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 7.3% of renter households. At $799 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Youngstown commands.

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 37% of renter households. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Youngstown, it ranks #26 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 4.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

For a like-for-like read, Pleasant Grove and Hillcrest score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
