The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Average gross rent is $932, 28% above the Youngstown average of $728. The poverty rate is 21%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 167 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 9.8% of renter households. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Youngstown, it ranks #18 by risk, the lower third.
Judgments average 5.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $45,846.
29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
