Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Rittman
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 5.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Wayne County average of 4.1 and in line with the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 329 eviction filings here over 12 tracked years, with about 6.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 10.4% of renter households in 2013.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 57th 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.
