Zanesville Eviction Risk: Elevated

Against Muskingum County at 41.4%, about three-quarters of renters here are cost-burdened. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 43%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.5/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $31,630, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Against the Muskingum County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.4/10.

Food insecurity runs 30.4% against 17.8% nationally. Disability prevalence runs 43.7% against 31.5% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 292 evictions over 9 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2006, when 11.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 7.0% of renter households face a filing.

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.
