Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pill Hill

Food insecurity runs 43.8% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 46%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 28.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $27,663, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

76% 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.

Against the Hamilton County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Court records carry 3,089 eviction filings across 16 observed years.

Average gross rent is $901, 10% below the Cincinnati average. The worst year on record was 2002, when 18.3% of renter households were served.

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