University Manor maps to a single census tract in Kent, OH, population 5,057. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
32% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Against a Kent baseline of 38.4%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.9/10.
The poverty rate is 31%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.8/10. This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Court records for this tract carry 237 eviction filings. At $859 a month, rents sit 13% under what the rest of Kent commands. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 2.9% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 2.7% in 2017 against a 2.9% peak. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Kent, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, Southwest Kent and South End score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $40,417.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
