Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Colonial Oaks

The heaviest input here is economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Lorain County average of 5.3 and above the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 967 eviction filings here over 11 tracked years, with about 13.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 16.6% of renter households in 2004.

In CDC survey modeling, about 30.4% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 25.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
