Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Helena
Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.9/10. Average gross rent is $871, 20% below the Helena average.
Well under the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 2.3/10. Cost burden runs 27% here against 32.1% across Sandusky County.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 12 filings here across 5 tracked years. Against the Sandusky County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. The worst year on record was 2015, when 2.5% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 1.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 9% 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 $88,194, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
