Johnstown Eviction Risk: Lower

The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.8/10.

At $1,061 a month, rents run 20% over what the rest of Johnstown commands. Food insecurity runs 8.1% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 5.9% against 15.2% nationally.

It sits 0.9 points below the Licking County average of 3.9. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 1.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $102,734, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
