Cascade Valley is a one-tract neighborhood of Akron, OH and houses 1,521 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 39%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 45% against 31.7% citywide, putting Cascade Valley 13.7% over its own city. This is a renter market: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 8.9/10.
The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Set annual rent against average household income of $41,204 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Food insecurity affects 34.7% of adults, 16.9 points above the national rate. Average gross rent is $1,172, 23% above the Akron average of $955. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 483 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 11.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 5.1% in 2018, is well off that peak.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
