Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Linden Heights
Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Against the Montgomery County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.
The filing record is not thin: 1,747 evictions over 17 years of observation. Average gross rent is $823, 10% below the Dayton average. The worst year on record was 2017, when 11.6% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Dayton. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 9.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
