Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Main Street Historic District

roughly two in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Wood County average of 35.7%. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 48%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.7/10.

Against the Wood County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $26,613, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

79% 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. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.3/10.

Court records carry 26 eviction filings across 2 observed years. The worst year on record was 2016, when 0.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 0.9% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 3.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter.

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

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
