Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Shelby

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 7.9/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.3/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

It sits 1.0 points below the Richland County average of 4.2. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 57 filings here across 11 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2014, when 3.0% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 1.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 13% 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 3.4/10. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $71,451, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

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.
