Brittain Eviction Risk: Moderate , Akron

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,166, 22% above the Akron average.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Summit County average of 4.1.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.

47% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Summit County average of 41.2%. Housing insecurity runs 24.1% against 14.2% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 1,008 evictions over 17 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2016 at 14.0% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 15.2% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
