Fullerton spans 2 census tracts of Portsmouth, OH and houses 5,658 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Portsmouth rate of 33.7%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 48%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10.
SNAP participation is 37.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.5/10.
Food insecurity affects 33.4% of adults, 15.6 points above the national rate. Court records carry 1,640 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 15.1% of renter households.
At $821 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Portsmouth commands. The most recent observed rate, 8.3% in 2013, is well off that peak.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
