Lafferty Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.7/10. It sits 1.2 points below the Belmont County average of 4.2.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Food insecurity runs 10.8% against 17.8% nationally. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.7/10.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $75,532, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $1,037, close to the Lafferty average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
