Lancaster Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.

Cost burden runs 30% here against 39.8% across Fairfield County. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10.

The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.4 points above the Fairfield County average of 4.0. The filing record is not thin: 309 evictions over 13 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 6.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.1/10. Rent consumes only 9% of average household income of $49,167, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
