Gibsonville Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 1,594 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.9/10 · range 5.9–5.9

Gibsonville is a one-tract neighborhood of Youngstown, OH, population 1,594. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 34.3% citywide, putting Gibsonville 15.9% over its own city.

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 46%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 35% 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.

23.7% 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. Food insecurity affects 37.9% of adults, 20.1 points above the national rate.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.6/10. Average gross rent is $855, 17% above the Youngstown average of $728.

The filing record is not thin: 274 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 16.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 22.7% in 2016 against a 16.1% 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.
