Mansfield Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10.

SNAP participation runs 27.4% against 15.2% nationally. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Richland County average of 4.2.

The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 26.5% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 118 evictions over 11 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2015, when 5.9% of renter households were served. At $742 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Mansfield commands. In a typical year about 4.9% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #23,808 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 5.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
