Kettering Eviction Risk: Lower

Cost burden runs 53% here against 42.9% across Montgomery County. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. At $1,275 a month, rents run 21% over what the rest of Kettering commands.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. The voucher gap is 18.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

It sits 0.9 points below the Montgomery County average of 4.2. Court records carry 202 eviction filings across 17 observed years. Filings peaked in 2002 at 12.7% of renter households.

In a typical year about 5.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #61,558 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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