Upper Downtown Canton Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate

SNAP participation is 38.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 33%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Food insecurity affects 35.6% of adults, 17.8 points above the national rate.

Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8.2/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.

Against a Canton baseline of 29.2%, 34% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The filing record is not thin: 1,364 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 15.1% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 10.4% in 2018 against a 15.1% peak. Average gross rent is $904, 6% above the Canton average of $850.

Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Canton, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

One tract means one number: 5.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
