Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Canton
Against Stark County at 38.2%, 49% of renters here are cost-burdened. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.7 points above the Stark County average of 4.1.
Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.7/10. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 533 filings here across 15 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2013, when 9.7% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 6.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 76% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.8/10. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
