Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pill Hill

SNAP participation runs 43.6% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 45%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 32% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Set annual rent against average income of $27,235 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Housing insecurity runs 31.0% against 14.2% nationally. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10.

66% 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. Against the Hamilton County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,351 filings here across 16 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2002, when 19.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 16.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #19,618 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
