2 census tracts · pop 6,632 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.6/10
· range 5.4–5.8
Ridgewood Historic District takes in 2 census tracts of Canton, OH and houses 6,632 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Canton rate of 29.2%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.7/10. The poverty rate is 16%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Average gross rent is $752, 12% below the Canton average of $850. That places it #8 of 11 neighborhoods in Canton. For a like-for-like read, Vassar Park and Upper Downtown Canton Historic District score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 2 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $41,484.
53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
