Hardscrabble is a one-tract neighborhood of Leavittsburg, OH and houses 2,003 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. 11% 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. Court records for this tract carry 9 eviction filings.
Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.4/10. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 35% of renter households.
At $673 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Leavittsburg commands. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 3.7% of renter households.
Judgments average 2.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $59,100, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
