Northside District is a one-tract neighborhood of Akron, OH and houses 1,146 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Akron baseline of 31.7%, 84% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. SNAP participation is 26.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
15.8% 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. The filing record is not thin: 515 evictions logged in this tract.
Average gross rent is $841, 12% below the Akron average of $955. Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 21.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 5.0% in 2018, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 35 neighborhoods in Akron.
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.
