Brighton-Dryden Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 7,258 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.1–5.5

Brighton-Dryden Historic District is a 2-tract neighborhood of South Zanesville, OH and houses 7,258 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the South Zanesville rate of 23.7%.

The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.1 to 5.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

Filings are well documented here: 586 across 2 observed tracts. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.4/10. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Average gross rent is $904, 13% above the South Zanesville average of $799. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 12.9% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 5.8% in 2018, is well off that peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $48,820.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
