Eastern Heights Eviction Risk: Lower , Elyria

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.1/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.3/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Lorain County average of 4.1. The filing record is not thin: 173 evictions over 11 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2006, when 7.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.8% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #65,414 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.9/10. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $85,585, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

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