Apple Creek Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.6/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10.

14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Average gross rent is $822, 18% below the Apple Creek average.

Court records carry 162 eviction filings across 12 observed years. The worst year on record was 2004, when 11.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 5.2% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 29% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 5.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $63,684, annual rent is just 15%. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.8 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Wayne County average of 3.6 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
