Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sixth Street Historic District
The poverty rate is 51%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.3/10. SNAP participation runs 32.1% against 15.2% nationally.
Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. Against the Scioto County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points.
65% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Average gross rent is $563, 25% below the Portsmouth average.
Food insecurity runs 29.8% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 399 eviction filings across 12 observed years. Filings peaked in 2003 at 7.4% of renter households.
This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Portsmouth. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 5.1% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
