Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fostoria
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 7.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Wood County average of 4.6 and below the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 64th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
