Putnam Historic District is a one-tract neighborhood of Zanesville, OH and houses 3,409 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. 48% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Zanesville rate of 30.5%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 9.2/10. SNAP participation is 33.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.4/10.
18.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $687 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Zanesville commands.
Court records for this tract carry 646 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 13.4% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 8.1% in 2018 against a 13.4% peak.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
