Downtown Canton Arts District Eviction Risk: Moderate

The dominant input is economic stress at 9.7/10. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.3/10.

Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 78% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

It sits 1.7 points above the Stark County average of 4.1. Disability prevalence runs 46.1% against 31.5% nationally. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,567 filings here across 15 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2009 at 16.6% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 13.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 76th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
