Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Zanesville

The score leans hardest on economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Muskingum County average of 5.2 and above the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 20.2% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 17.8% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 292 eviction filings here over 9 tracked years, with about 7.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 11.4% of renter households in 2006.
