The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 51.9% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 37.6% against 14.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Set annual rent against average income of $32,277 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Against the Montgomery County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. Court records carry 563 eviction filings across 17 observed years. The worst year on record was 2002, when 7.7% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 6.7% of renter households face a filing.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
