South Zanesville Eviction Risk: Lower

The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty at 2/10. At $974 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of South Zanesville commands.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.6/10.

The filing record is not thin: 108 evictions over 9 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2018 at 9.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 4.5% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Muskingum County average of 4.2 closely.

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.
