Fostoria Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.8/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.7/10.

The filing record is not thin: 46 evictions over 2 years of observation. It sits 0.7 points above the Wood County average of 4.0.

Average gross rent is $713, 12% below the Fostoria average. The worst year on record was 2016, when 14.0% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 8.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $50,569, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
