Analysis
What drives eviction risk in HarborWalk
55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Lorain County average of 40.1%. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10.
It sits 1.8 points above the Lorain County average of 4.1. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8/10.
Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The filing record is not thin: 1,045 evictions over 11 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2013 at 11.6% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 11.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
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.
