Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Rittman
The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty at 2.1/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.6/10.
The filing record is not thin: 125 evictions over 12 years of observation. It sits 0.7 points above the Wayne County average of 3.6. Average gross rent is $722, 11% below the Rittman average.
The worst year on record was 2005, when 7.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.7% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.3/10.
Against average income of $71,250, annual rent is just 12%.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
