Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Galion
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 8.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Crawford County average of 4.5 and below the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
