Analysis
What drives eviction risk in College Hill
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 5.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Hamilton County average of 5.6 and above the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 16.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 13.0% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 350 eviction filings here over 16 tracked years, with about 10.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 17.5% of renter households in 2018.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
