The filing record is not thin: 9 evictions over 8 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2016 at 4.2% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.8% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #22,681 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. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.
