Wooster Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10. Against the Wayne County average of 3.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.5/10.

The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 707 filings here across 12 tracked years.

Average gross rent is $804, 12% below the Wooster average. Filings peaked in 2013 at 8.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 6.3% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 3.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $60,909, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
