Forest Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against a Akron baseline of 31.7%, 61% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The poverty rate is 34%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Running hot is economic stress at 8.4/10. 17.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Court records for this tract carry 1,680 eviction filings. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.

The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 7.7% of renter households.

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.
