Greystone Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,253 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3.7–3.7

Greystone is a one-tract neighborhood of Akron, OH and houses 5,253 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.7/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Akron rate of 31.7%.

24% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.7/10. Court records for this tract carry 1,557 eviction filings.

Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 21.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 8.4% in 2018, is well off that peak.

Among the 35 mapped neighborhoods of Akron, it ranks #32 by risk, the lower third. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Average gross rent runs $964, close to the Akron average. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 3.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
