Gibbs is a one-tract neighborhood of Canton, OH and houses 2,854 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10.
The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8.8/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 28.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. 19% 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 Canton baseline of 29.2%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Disability prevalence reaches 44.8% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
The filing record is not thin: 1,497 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 24.1% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 12.3% in 2018, is well off that peak. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Canton, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Upper Downtown Canton Historic District and Downtown Canton.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
