Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Circleville
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 8.9/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Circleville, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Pickaway County average of 4.8 and below the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 48 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 10.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 13.3% of renter households in 2011.
In CDC survey modeling, about 7.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 5.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
