Kossuth Colony Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate , Dayton

The poverty rate is 54%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against Montgomery County at 42.9%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened.

25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Set annual rent against average income of $24,955 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Housing insecurity runs 28.4% against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $726, 21% below the Dayton average.

Against the Montgomery County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Dayton. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
