North Moreland Eviction Risk: Elevated , New Boston

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.8/10. Against the Scioto County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.4 points.

The poverty rate is 40%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Set annual rent against average income of $21,968 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Food insecurity runs 34.9% against 17.8% nationally.

This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.1/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 340 filings here across 12 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2009, when 9.7% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

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