Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wallhaven

The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 33% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Summit County average of 41.2%. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. Against the Summit County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,053 filings here across 17 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2014, when 5.9% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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.

In a typical year about 4.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 6.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.
