The Boulevards is a 3-tract neighborhood of Canton, OH, population 10,880. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 48% 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 poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
On the high side is economic stress at 9/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
Filings are well documented here: 3,273 across 3 observed tracts. Disability prevalence reaches 44.4% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. The worst year on record was 2018, when filings touched 27.1% of renter households.
Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Canton, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 7.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
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.
