Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Chapel Hill
54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Summit County average of 41.2%. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.
It sits 1.3 points above the Summit County average of 4.1. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. Food insecurity runs 27.1% against 17.8% nationally.
Court records carry 1,173 eviction filings across 17 observed years. SNAP participation runs 23.5% against 15.2% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2013 at 7.5% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Akron. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
