Middlebury maps to a single census tract in Akron, OH, population 1,907. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 63%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
about three-quarters of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Akron rate of 31.7%. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 50%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
26.9% 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. Annualized rent equals 47% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Food insecurity affects 42.7% of adults, 24.9 points above the national rate. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 1,234 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 21.1% of renter households.
At $869 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Akron commands. Recent filings have not receded much: 15.7% in 2018 against a 21.1% peak.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
