Ellet is a 2-tract neighborhood of Akron, OH and houses 10,442 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.9 to 5.4. A 1.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Against a Akron baseline of 31.7%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.
Court records carry 1,329 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 8.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.3% in 2018 against a 8.7% peak.
At $882 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Akron commands. That places it #28 of 35 neighborhoods in Akron.
For a like-for-like read, Brittain and Castle Homes score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
