Castle Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Against a Akron baseline of 31.7%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Filings are well documented here: 286 across 2 observed tracts.

Food insecurity affects 8.3% of adults, 9.5 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 5.5% of renter households. 4.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

The most recent observed rate, 2.1% in 2018, is well off that peak. That places it #34 of 35 neighborhoods in Akron. Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Against average income of $87,939, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

With little internal variation, 3.2/10 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.
