Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wooster
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.7/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Court records carry 494 eviction filings across 12 observed years. Filings peaked in 2005 at 7.6% of renter households.
In a typical year about 5.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $62,031, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 27% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
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.
