Downtown Canton Arts District Eviction Risk: Moderate

The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.7 points above the Stark County average of 4.1.

The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10.

47% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Stark County average of 38.2%. Food insecurity runs 30.2% against 17.8% nationally.

Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.7/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,245 filings here across 15 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2012, when 11.9% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 10.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 76% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 6.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

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.
