Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Creston
The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 6.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Creston, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Wayne County average of 4.1 and below the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 28th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 110 eviction filings here over 12 tracked years, with about 3.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 5.3% of renter households in 2015.
