Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West End

Against the Erie County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 353 evictions over 7 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2014 at 12.4% of renter households. Average gross rent is $986, 9% above the Sandusky average. In a typical year about 10.8% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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.
