Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Linden Heights

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

At $722 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Dayton commands. It sits 1.2 points above the Montgomery County average of 4.2. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10.

Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 547 filings here across 17 tracked years.

SNAP participation runs 23.4% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 25.1% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2017 at 10.7% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 8.4% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
