Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Walnut Hills

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. The voucher gap is 23.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. Food insecurity runs 5.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.2 points below the Montgomery County average of 4.2. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

Court records carry 40 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.8% against 11.3% nationally. Filings peaked in 2004 at 0.9% of renter households.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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. In a typical year about 0.6% of renter households face a filing.
