North Canton Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. 13% 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, state political climate reads 2.4/10. It sits 1.1 points below the Stark County average of 4.1.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 428 filings here across 15 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2003, when 5.0% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.1% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $70,552, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 37% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Average gross rent is $950, close to the North Canton average.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
