Central Avenue Historic District maps to a single census tract in Dayton, OH and houses 1,720 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Dayton baseline of 31.7%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
30% 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. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 32.4% of adults, 14.6 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Court records for this tract carry 487 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 18.2% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 5.8% in 2018, is well off that peak. That places it #10 of 13 neighborhoods in Dayton.
The closest comparables inside the same city are East Second Street Historic District and Dayton View Historic District. Average gross rent runs $890, close to the Dayton average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
