North Hill is a 2-tract neighborhood of Akron, OH and houses 7,813 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 31.7% citywide, putting North Hill 17.9% over its own city.
30% 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. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running hot is economic stress at 7.7/10.
Food insecurity affects 31.0% of adults, 13.2 points above the national rate. SNAP participation is 27.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filings are well documented here: 1,380 across 2 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 12.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.1% in 2018, is well off that peak.
That places it #1 of 35 neighborhoods in Akron. For a like-for-like read, East End and Temple Square score within a fraction of it.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
