Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lexington
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 6.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Richland County average of 5.4 and below the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 223 eviction filings here over 11 tracked years, with about 3.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 5.3% of renter households in 2010.
In CDC survey modeling, about 10.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.8% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
