This section focuses on the population at risk for losing their home or experiencing homelessness. Data on those who are housing insecure are difficult to find, particularly for those forced to live with friends or family for a short time period. Thus, many of the numbers in this section are likely an undercount of the total Ohio population experiencing housing insecurity.
Section Highlights
- Ohio's foreclosure rate (0.6%), 90-day delinquency rate (2%) and negative equity share (4%) in December 2019 were all at record low levels, having fallen precipitously from the height of the Great Recession.

Notes
The eviction filing rate is the number of new eviction filings per 100 renter-occupied households. In Ohio an eviction is legally referred to as a "forcible entry and detainer" or F.E.D.
Students meet the McKinney-Vento definition of homeless when they lack a fixed, regular, adequate nighttime residence. Students who are sharing the housing of another person (doubled up) due to loss of housing, economic hardship or similar reason meet the definition of homeless. This includes students living in motels, hotels, RV parks or campgrounds due to lack of alternative adequate accommodations, as well as those living in emergency or transitional shelters or abandoned in hospitals. Typologies defined by the Ohio Department of Education and based on traditional school district boundaries. Statewide numbers include online and "bricks-and-mortar" community schools. All numbers are based on total head count. Students may be double counted across typologies if they moved during the school year, however statewide numbers represent unduplicated totals.
Ohio Regions are defined by the Ohio Development Services Agency at the county level.
