Dayton Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $41,671, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. At $1,179 a month, rents run 28% over what the rest of Dayton commands.

SNAP participation runs 29.8% against 15.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10.

Against the Montgomery County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Housing insecurity runs 24.2% against 14.2% nationally.

Court records carry 769 eviction filings across 17 observed years. The worst year on record was 2018, when 19.6% of renter households were served.
