Kent Eviction Risk: Moderate

Average gross rent is $1,438, 45% above the Kent average. Cost burden runs 62% here against 46.4% across Portage County.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.9/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.8/10. The voucher gap is 27.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.4% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.8/10. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
