Gibbs Eviction Risk: Moderate , Canton

Food insecurity runs 39.5% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.8/10.

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 nearby. Against the Stark County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points.

Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Disability prevalence runs 44.8% against 31.5% nationally. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10.

The filing record is not thin: 1,497 evictions over 15 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2013 at 24.1% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Canton. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 18.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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