Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Dayton

The heaviest input here is economic stress at 6.3/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Dayton eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Montgomery County average of 5.4 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 2,597 eviction filings here over 17 tracked years, with about 13.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 17.9% of renter households in 2009.

In CDC survey modeling, about 29.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 25.7% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
