Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Canton
Against Stark County at 38.2%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.3/10.
SNAP participation runs 31.9% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 1.7 points above the Stark County average of 4.1. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 807 filings here across 15 tracked years.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Average gross rent is $764, 10% below the Canton average.
Filings peaked in 2014 at 12.5% 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 11.5% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
