Stockham is a one-tract neighborhood of West Portsmouth, OH and houses 2,588 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 41% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.1/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10.
Court records for this tract carry 123 eviction filings. Against a West Portsmouth baseline of 51.0%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 6.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.5% in 2013, is well off that peak. Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Against average income of $48,048, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $687, close to the West Portsmouth average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
