East End spans 2 census tracts of Akron, OH, population 2,067. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. 44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Akron rate of 31.7%.
Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 29%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Food insecurity affects 36.3% of adults, 18.5 points above the national rate. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 27.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Running hot is economic stress at 7.2/10.

Among the 35 mapped neighborhoods of Akron, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Average gross rent runs $913, close to the Akron average.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
