Arlington is a 2-tract neighborhood of Akron, OH and houses 6,810 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 31.7% citywide, putting Arlington 18.2% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
18.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 23.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Court records carry 2,350 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 16.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 8.5% in 2018, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 35 neighborhoods in Akron.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $924, close to the Akron average.
With little internal variation, 5.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
