Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Akron
The heaviest input here is supply constraint at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Akron, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Hale County average of 3.9 and below the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 28 eviction filings here over 15 tracked years, with about 1.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 7.0% of renter households in 2001.
The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 50th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
