Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Uptown Cincinnati

77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the Hamilton County average of 4.4. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. Food insecurity runs 27.9% against 17.8% nationally.
