Pleasant Grove Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 1,909 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10 · range 3.9–3.9

Pleasant Grove is a one-tract neighborhood of Youngstown, OH and houses 1,909 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10.

Average gross rent is $938, 29% above the Youngstown average of $728. Running hot is housing-court posture at 8.6/10.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.9/10. Against a Youngstown baseline of 34.3%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Court records for this tract carry 167 eviction filings.

8% 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. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 12.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 11.2% in 2016 against a 12.9% peak.

That places it #26 of 26 neighborhoods in Youngstown. At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Elmwood Place and Hillcrest score within a fraction of it.

Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

One tract means one number: 3.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
