Wick Park Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,115 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.9/10 · range 5.9–5.9

Wick Park Historic District maps to a single census tract in Youngstown, OH, population 2,115. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 41%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

62% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Youngstown rate of 34.3%. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 53%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Set annual rent against average household income of $24,509 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

This is a renter market: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 21.5% 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.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. Food insecurity affects 36.7% of adults, 18.9 points above the national rate.

Running hot is housing-court posture at 8.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 289 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 8.5% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 9.3% in 2016 against a 8.5% peak.

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.
