Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pill Hill

72% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Hamilton County average of 42.5%. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 45.5% against 17.8% nationally.

The poverty rate is 49%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 30.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income of $23,440, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.1/10.

79% 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.

Average gross rent is $787, 21% below the Cincinnati average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 3,074 filings here across 16 tracked years.

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.
