Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wooster
31% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.6/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.7/10.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 207 filings here across 12 tracked years.
Food insecurity runs 9.7% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.2% against 15.2% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2005 at 4.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $83,529, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
