Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Linden Heights
Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10.
Court records carry 207 eviction filings across 17 observed years. At $1,055 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of Dayton commands.
Filings peaked in 2014 at 6.8% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 5.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.4/10. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
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.
