Westgate Eviction Risk: Lower , Ottawa Hills

roughly one in four of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Lucas County average of 41.3%. The voucher gap is 76.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 3.6% against 15.2% nationally.

It sits 1.2 points below the Lucas County average of 4.2. Court records carry 73 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 2.5% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Toledo. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing.

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.
