Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Dayton

The heaviest input here is economic stress at 9.2/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Montgomery County average of 5.4 and above the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 31.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 26.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 841 eviction filings here over 17 tracked years, with about 10.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 14.9% of renter households in 2010.
